be required for installation:
VHF Antenna
A VHF antenna used for voice communications 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, antenna splitter products are available which allow the
existing antenna to be used with two radio devices, such as a VHF voice radio and the
AIS receiver.
