Quark-Elec A015-TX Active VHF Splitter (for AIS transponders)

• The QK-A015-TX Active AIS-VHF Antenna Splitter allows one VHF antenna to be shared between VHF and AIS devices:
  • VHF radio (reception and transmission)
  • AIS transponder (reception and transmission)
  • AM/FM radio (reception)

• Built-in pre-amplifier providing AIS signal gain (typically 12dB) maximizes AIS reception and range
• VHF fail-safe functionality to continue transmitting VHF radio even if the power to the splitter fails
• Straight forward connection (no configuration required)
• Low power consumption.

This active AIS-VHF Antenna Splitter provides a typical AIS Gain of 12dB, while allowing one VHF antenna to be shared between,

1. VHF radio
2. AIS transponder and
3. AM/FM radio

Specifically, the A015-TX allows the one VHF antenna to provide the following functions:

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

The A015-TX is an active splitter.

This is an important distinction, as, while many splitters cause signal loss, an active splitter actually provides a signal gain for AIS and minimizes VHF and FM/AM insert loss. The A015-TX’s built-in pre-amplifier amplifies the AIS signals, thereby increasing the AIS receiver range and reception.
