SPLITXP

VHF Antenna Splitter – one antenna for many uses!

The VHF antenna splitter is a must-have accessory for all sailboat owners wishing to connect both a fixed VHF and an AIS transponder to a single VHF antenna. Our SplitXP is therefore a perfect match for our GuardXP transponder.

Why add a splitter to your nke AIS system?

➡️ Simplified installation: no need for a second antenna or additional cables
➡️ Full AIS compatibility: designed to work with Class B AIS transponders (transmit and receive)
➡️ Built-in protection: automatic priority for VHF radio, and AIS mute while transmitting to avoid interference.

This splitter is perfect for sailboats, catamarans racing boats and that already have a masthead VHF antenna and are looking for a simple, cost-effective solution for integrating an AIS system into their existing installation. This small box will give you a major safety advantage without compromising on performance!
