What is involved in installing an AIS Receiver?

The AIS signals operate in the VHF marine so the receiver will either need its own VHF Antenna installed, or you can use the Comar ASR 100 antenna splitter that allows you to share your existing VHF Radio antenna with the AIS Receiver.

The data output from the Receiver then needs to be connected to a Chart Plotter via the NMEA cables, or to a PC by the Serial or USB connections.
