Additional Items Needed for A100 Installation
VHF Antenna: Must be tuned to 162 MHz for AIS transmit/receive.
Antenna Cable: Ensure it reaches the AIS unit. Use RG-58 or RG-8X for short runs; RG-213 for longer ones. The AIS uses an SO-239 connector (mates with PL-259).
Power Cable: Supplied 2 m cable supports up to 4A. Use appropriately rated extensions and connectors if more length is needed.
Data Cables: Use shielded multi-core cable to connect sensors (DGPS, Gyro, etc.) to the AIS transceiver.
