Amplified AIS VHF Splitter - SP160 Splitter

A Splitter with Gain, not Loss. A built-in amplifier makes the Vesper Marine splitter uniquely able to improve AIS reception and range by providing signal gain. Unlike other splitters, there is now no need to compromise on performance when utilizing the convenience of an existing antenna and cabling to install an AIS receiver or transponder. Ideal for use with low power AIS man overboard (MOB) devices.
