T&T: AIS Installation - recommendations

[Skip W]

Ross

Chuck says below that it is better to have a dedicated antenna.  I just
installed an AIS on our Defever 44 interfacing to Coastal Explorer.  I
choose to install the antenna splitter as I have two VHF and two radios and
did not want another antenna.  We are in SF Bay and so far the splitter is
working great.  You have to be sure that the power for the splitter and VHF
are on the same circuit but it sure beat installing ANOTHER antenna.  Jusy
my opinion.

Chuck always has great advice so I am not trying to say his idea is wrong
merely what worked for us.

Cheers

I have been off the list for some time - still working on getting ready for
the loop via south on the California coast - either all the way down and
through the canal or via boat lift from Ensanada to Port Everglades. Will be
looking for lots of advice either way. Is there a popular view regaridng
installing AIS Class B and if so can I get a summary? Ross LappinCynthia
