Vesper VHF/AIS antenna Marine Navigation & Instruments
VHF/AIS AntennaFinally an antenna designed for both VHF and AIS!
This antenna is specially designed by Vesper Marine for use with our antenna splitter. Until now, you had to choose an AIS tuned antenna, optimized for AIS frequencies but offering lower performance for your VHF radio. You may also choose an antenna that is designed for VHF radio communications but is not optimal for AIS. Either of these solutions works, but we have a better solution.
We've created an antenna that solves this dilemma. It has two key features which combine to make it ideal for use with our antenna splitter:
- A wide 6 MHz bandwidth means it will cover 3 MHz above and below below the center point
- The center frequency of 159 MHz provides excellent performance for VHF radio (156 MHz) and AIS (162MHz)
The result is an antenna with higher performance than other models. It has a VSWR of less than 1.5:1 at 156 MHz up to 162 MHz. With other VHF or IS antennas, you will only get low VSWR at one end of the frequency band, but not both.
We put it all in the same physical package as our most popular antenna. It is perfect for installations where the lowest possible wind speed is a requirement. A detachable cable makes installation and maintenance easier and allows any length of cable to be used. It mounts easily to a flagpole but is also suitable for mounting almost anywhere thanks to the included L-bracket. Examples of our customers' mounting locations are along side solar panels, on the sides of the bimini, on an arch, above a radar or along the edge of a cabin roof. The L-bracket can be removed, allowing a fleEven greater mounting xibility.
Key Features:
- Specially designed 1.0M stainless steel antenna
- Stainless steel whip easily replaceable in case of loss or damage
- Optimized for sharing between VHF radio and AIS transponder
- Includes SO239 socket and mounting bracket
- Perfect for mastheads or installations where the L bracket fits
- Easily adapted to most mounting configurations installation
- Removable cable allows use of any length
