Glomex VHF/AIS/Radio Splitter - 12VDC

VHF/AIS/Radio Splitter - 12VDC

The RA201 splitter allows the use of just one VHF antenna to simultaneously receive VHF, AM/FM and AIS radio signals; without sacrificing performance on the VHF transceiver. This compact, economical and innovative device can be easily installed in any place. It requires only a 12Vdc power source with a maximum of just 25 mA power consumption.

The unit comes with a coaxial input from the VHF antenna and three outputs for VHF, AM/FM radio and AIS.

Thanks to an electronic circuit specifically developed by Glomex and the presence of a built-in preamplifier, the RA201 splitter is able to offer high performance in all three applications, ensuring effective transmission and reception for VHF.

The splitter’s maximum input power for VHF is 100 watts, twice as much as most devices on the market.
