@g4g2000hsf.googlegroups.com:

I have installed an AIS receiver in our vessel with which we travel
Long Island sound NY. So far I have never seen an AIS contact, I am
beginning to wonder if the unit even works. It is a millitech SR161.
Has anyone seen a contact in this area?

Make SURE its NOT connected to the same antenna as a VHF transmitter! I
keep finding little AIS receivers T'd into the coax with a 25W
transmitter, the AIS receivers burned all to hell!


It is also possible to use an antenna splitter with an AIS receiver and a
VHF radio, for example:
