Digital Yacht GV30 VHF/AIS GPS Antenna

The Digital Yacht GV30 is a top - notch combination of AIS/VHF and GPS antenna. Specifically tuned to 162MHz, it offers excellent performance. It features a high - gain GPS element, which enhances signal reception. The antenna comes with 2 x 10m cable tails equipped with mini connectors, making cable installation a breeze. It has a standard 1' threaded base, ensuring compatibility with various mounts sold separately. Along with that, it is supplied with TNC (GPS) and BNC (AIS) adaptors. Standing under 8 inches high, it's perfect for low - profile installations. A Class B AIS transponder needs a dedicated GPS antenna and a VHF antenna or a suitable splitter, and the GV30 meets these requirements. The 33ft coax cables end with FME mini connectors, which are easy to handle. Despite its compact size of 7 inches high and 3 inches in diameter, it delivers great results. It's also available as a bundle with the AIT2000. In the box, you'll find the GV30 antenna, 2 x 10m cables with FME connectors, a TNC adaptor, and a BNC adaptor.

Using the Digital Yacht GV30 antenna is easy. First, find a suitable location for mounting. Thanks to its standard 1' threaded base, it can be attached to various deck, pole, or rail mounts. Connect the 2 x 10m cables to the appropriate ports using the supplied TNC and BNC adaptors. The FME mini connectors on the cables make this process simple. When it comes to operation, since it's tuned to 162MHz, it should work well for your AIS and VHF needs. For a Class B AIS transponder, make sure to connect it correctly as it requires a dedicated GPS antenna. As for maintenance, keep the antenna clean and check the cables regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Avoid exposing it to extreme weather conditions for long periods if possible. If you have any issues, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.
