Installing the SLR-200 Receiver

Installing the antenna

The SLR-200 Receiver is not supplied with a VHF antenna as the

type of antenna and cable requirements differ from vessel to vessel.

An antenna can be acquired from a marine electronics outlet.

Hint:

The antenna connector type is BNC, 50 ohms.

Antenna location

Hint:

The AIS VHF antenna should be separated as far as possible from

the voice VHF to avoid unnecessary interference.

Hint:

Best separation is achieved by installing the antennas over each

other or on separate sides of the mast.

Hint:

The VHF antenna should be mounted at least 3 metres away from

and out of the transmitting beam of high-power transmitters or other VHF

antenna installations.

Hint:

Mount the antenna with a relatively clear view of the horizon. Large

obstructions that might shade the antenna should be avoided.

Hint:

The higher the antenna is located, the longer the range.
