AS300 AIS / VHF Antenna Splitter

The AS300 Antenna Splitter from Comar Systems is designed to allow an AIS Class ‘B’ Transponder or an AIS Receiver to share the main VHF Antenna used by the VHF Radiotelephone, which removes the need and expense of installing an additional VHF antenna. Comar Antenna Splitters are built to the highest standards to ensure that the performance of the connected AIS and VHF Radio equipment is not compromised. Enables AIS to be used with an existing installed antenna and removes the need and expense of installing a second antenna.
