In addition to the items provided with your AIS transceiver the fol-
lowing items will be required for installation:
VHF antenna
Connection to a suitable VHF antenna will be required for the AIS
transceiver to operate. A standard marine band VHF antenna such as
that used with VHF voice radios will be sufficient. Please take note of
the warnings in section 1 regarding the use of antennas.
Alternatively, if you wish to use an existing VHF antenna, install a
Navico NSPL-500 VHF Antenna Splitter, which allow the existing an-
tenna to be used with two radio devices, such as a VHF voice radio
and the NAIS-500 transceiver.
