Description
Product Details

The QK-A015-RX AIS-VHF Antenna Splitter allows one VHF antenna to be shared between,

VHF radio
AIS receiver and
AM/FM radio

The A015-RX allows the one VHF antenna to provide the following functions:

Reception of VHF radio, AIS messages and AM/FM radio
Transmission from VHF radio
Straight forward connection to the relevant devices

The A015-RX is an active splitter. This is important, as unlike many splitters that cause signal loss, the active splitters actually provide a signal gain. The A015-RX’s built-in pre-amplifier amplifies the AIS, VHF, AM/FM signals, thereby increasing the AIS receiver range.

The A015-RX has five connections:
• Power cable: connect to 12V-24V DC power
• VHF Antenna: SO239 connector for VHF antenna
• VHF radio: SO239 connector for VHF radio
• AIS: BNC connector for the output of the AIS signal
• FM/AM: BNC connector for the output of the FM/AM radio signal

QK-A015-RX

Features

12V-24V powered, low power consumption
Uses standard SO239 connector for VHF and antenna connections
Typical VHF/AIS Gain 12dB
Built-in preamplifier providing VHF/AIS signal gain maximises receivers’ range
LED power and status indicator
Compact & easy to install
VHF failsafe function – in the unlikely case of Splitter power loss or failure, the VHF radio remains functional, as VHF radio has full priority.

Fully compatible with all AIS receivers and will maximise their performance.

Please note: The A015-RX is compatible with AIS receivers, not AIS transponders/transceivers. If you require an AIS splitter for an AIS transponder/transceiver you will require the A015-TX (not the A015-RX).

What’s included?

1 x QK-A015-RX
1 x BNC to BNC cable for connection to the AIS receiver
1 x CD containing manuals, configuration software and drivers
