- AM and FM radio connection: provides AM/FM radio connection. An optional cable with a standard "Motorola plug" is available for ease of installation. Plugs directly into almost any car or marine stereo.
- VHF In Use Indicato: The VHF in use indicator appears on the display of the AISWatchMate 850 and WatchMate Vision transponders AIS whenever the VHF radio is used. This unique feature indicates when AIS traffic is delayed due to the VHF radio using the antenna and is also a great indicator if there is a blocked mic issue.
- Safety VHF Priority: the VHF radio isalways present. has priority and the VHF can still transmit even if the splitter's power fails.
- The Antenna Quality Monitor indicates if there is a problem: the unique Antenna Quality LED the antenna will indicate a problem with the antenna, cable or installation.
