The RA201 splitter allows you to use a single VHF antenna to simultaneously receive AM/FM and AIS radio signals, in addition to VHF signals.

It is a compact, economical, safe and easy to install element anywhere.

It requires a 12V power supply with a maximum draw of just 25mA.

The RA201 splitter features a coaxial input for the antenna and three outputs dedicated to the VHF transmitter, AM/FM radio and AIS receiver.

Thanks to the electronic circuit specifically developed by Glomex and the presence of an internal pre-amplifier, RA201 is able to guarantee high performance in the three uses for which it is intended, without loss of signal quality.

The maximum power supported by the VHF splitter is 100 W, which is double the power supplied by most devices on the market.

LINKS:
Connect the antenna cable to the SO239 connector of the RA201 splitter using a PL259 connector.
Connect the VHF radio to the RA201 splitter using the RA201 splitter “”VHF”” cable.
Connect the AM/FM radio receiver to the RA201 with the RA201's “AM/FM radio” cable.
Connect the AIS receiver to the RA201 with the RA201 “AIS receiver” cable.
Power the splitter – It is recommended to use a switch to cut off the power when not in use.

NOTE:
To be installed inside the vessel as RA201 is not waterproof.
Make sure the power polarities are not reversed: the red wire is positive (+), while the black wire is negative (-).

Do not use without first connecting the VHF antenna to the RA201 splitter
Do not reverse the connections.

RA201 IS TO BE USED ONLY FOR “RECEIVER ONLY” AIS DEVICES. NOT SUITABLE FOR TRANSMITTING (ACTIVE) AIS DEVICES.”
