2.4.2 VHF Antenna
Connection of a suitable VHF antenna will be required for the AIS transceiver to operate. A
standard wide band marine VHF antenna such as that used with VHF voice radios is suffi-
cient. The antenna cable should be terminated with a PL-259 (UHF) connector.
•
It is recommended that VHF antennas are mounted as high as possible on a
vessel to maximise range.
•
It is recommended that VHF antennas are mounted a minimum of 3m from
other VHF antennas that may be in use on a vessel.
For SOLAS and Inland waterways registered vessels there may be regional
!
requirements for dedicated AIS antennas
Always follow the manufacturers' instructions to ensure the correct instal-
!
lation of the antenna.
