AIS AST200 Comar transponder splitter £159.00
SIMPLIFY THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR AIS TRANSPONDER!
The Comar AST200 splitter is a new product that allows VHF radios, AIS Class B transponders, and FM radios to be connected to one VHF antenna.
The AST100 is designed for operation with marine VHF radios and AIS transponders. The great advantage of this splitter is that the radio operates normally when the splitter is switched off which means that it can be conveniently operated on the same circuit and the CSB200. When the CSB200 and AST100 are switched on the splitter suppresses transmission from the CSB200 if it detects a voice transmission on the VHF radio - therefore in an emergency voice transmission takes precedence.
Designed to operate with the majority of AIS transponders we have carried out trials and found the unit gives excellent operation with the Comar CSB200 transponder and a marine VHF antenna. This option allows the advantage of having the AIS antenna at the masthead giving significantly extra transmission and receiving range.
