Unlike most simple splitters, it can also be used with a class B transponder system and it incorporates special circuitry to ensure safe operation of the two transmitting devices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit has three simple connections - one input for the main VHF antenna and then outputs for the AIS receiver\/transponder and another for the DSC VHF. It utilizes Digital Yachts ZeroLoss technology, to ensure the very best possible reception and transmission from all devices. Most importantly it is also fail safe, so should the unit ever stop working or lose power, it will not affect the main VHF operation. Until now, Digital Yacht, have recommended a dedicated antenna for a receiver or transponder. However, with the new this new ZeroLoss technology, we can now offer a solution that greatly simplifies installation whilst maintaining performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit is waterproof and matches the aesthetics of the current AIT1500, so can easily be integrated into any vessel.

Designed to allow a single VHF antenna to serve both standard VHF communications and AIS (Automatic Identification System) transponders, this splitter simplifies installation while maintaining high performance. Its compatibility with all Class B transponders and receivers makes it a versatile choice for various maritime applications. Crafted with durability in mind, the SPL1500 features a waterproof design that blends seamlessly with the vessel's aesthetics, matching the appearance of the AIT1500 for a cohesive look. It operates efficiently on 12V or 24V power supplies, ensuring reliable performance across different vessel electrical systems. The inclusion of three status LEDs offers clear operational indicators for power, AIS activity, and VHF transmission, enabling quick troubleshooting and system monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SPL1500 incorporates Digital Yacht's innovative ZeroLoss technology, which guarantees exceptional reception and transmission quality by minimizing signal loss. Unlike conventional splitters, this unit is fail-safe; if power is lost or the device malfunctions, the main VHF system continues to operate unaffected, ensuring critical communication lines remain open. This feature is particularly valuable in safety-critical maritime environments. The device comes with all necessary cables—power, PL259-PL259, and BNC-BNC—each approximately 3 feet long, facilitating straightforward installation. Whether upgrading an existing system or installing a new one, the SPL1500 significantly reduces clutter by eliminating the need for multiple antennas, saving space and simplifying maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact and unobtrusive, the Digital Yacht SPL1500 Antenna Splitter VHF\/AIS is an ideal solution for boat owners and marine professionals looking to enhance communication capabilities without sacrificing reliability or ease of installation. Its robust construction, combined with advanced circuitry and thoughtful design, makes it a dependable choice for modern navigation and safety systems aboard vessels of all sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEnables an existing VHF antenna to be used for both the standard VHF and AIS system\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eZeroLoss technology for exceptional performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWorks with all Class B transponders and receivers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupplied with power cable, PL259-PL259 cable assembly, and BNC-BNC cable assembly (all 0.75 meters long)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOperates on 12V or 24V systems with low power consumption\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFail-safe operation ensures continuous VHF functionality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMatching size and design as the AIT1500 for seamless integration\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFacilitates quick and simple installation of AIS receivers or transponders\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eReduces antenna clutter for cleaner vessel setup\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Digital Yacht","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44530023661610,"sku":"65611","price":322.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/65611XL.jpg?v=1783101462","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/digital-yacht-spl1500-antenna-splitter-vhf-ais-for-seamless-marine-communication","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
