GLOMEX RA201 VHF/AM-FM Radio/AIS Splitter
Streamline your vessel´s communication and navigation systems with the GLOMEX RA201 VHF/AM-FM Radio/AIS Splitter. This high-performance device is the ultimate solution for boat owners looking to simplify their onboard electronics, reduce antenna clutter, and ensure a clean, professional installation. By intelligently managing your radio signals, the RA201 allows you to use a single VHF antenna for three critical devices: your VHF radio, your AIS receiver, and your AM/FM stereo. This eliminates the need and expense of installing separate antennas for each function, saving you valuable space on your mast or arch and preserving the aesthetic lines of your boat.
This is the ideal solution for a quick installation of the AIS receiver by taking advantage of the VHF antenna on board. With the RA201 divider, it is in fact possible to switch off the VHF sender and to split the signal received by the VHF antenna between the AM/FM radio and the AIS receiver. Its compact and lightweight design allows for easy mounting in any location, making it a versatile choice for vessels of all sizes, from small fishing boats to larger yachts. Enhance your safety, entertainment, and situational awareness with one simple, elegant, and effective component.
Key Benefits:
* Simplified Installation: Utilize your existing VHF antenna for AIS and AM/FM radio reception, drastically reducing installation time and complexity. No need for additional drilling or cabling for new antennas.
* Cost and Space Efficiency: Save money and valuable space by eliminating the need to purchase and mount two additional antennas. Achieve a cleaner, more professional look with less clutter on your boat.
* Enhanced Signal Reception: The built-in pre-amplifier boosts the AM/FM radio signal, ensuring you receive clear audio for music and news, even when further from shore.
* Uncompromised Safety: The RA201 gives absolute priority to VHF transmissions. When you transmit on your VHF radio, the splitter automatically isolates the AIS and AM/FM radio to prevent signal interference and potential damage, ensuring your emergency and communication calls are always clear.
* Optimized Performance: Engineered by Glomex, a leader in marine antennas, the RA201 is built to minimize insertion loss, preserving the integrity and strength of the signal for all connected devices.
Main Features:
* Allows one VHF antenna to serve a VHF radio, an AIS receiver, and an AM/FM radio.
* Automatic priority switching to the VHF radio during transmission for maximum safety.
* Integrated pre-amplifier to improve AM/FM radio reception quality.
* Designed for low power consumption, making it ideal for marine electrical systems.
* Robust electronic circuitry ensures reliability and longevity in the marine environment.
* Simple power connection to a 12Vdc source.
Spokes of Communication:
Think of the GLOMEX RA201 as the central hub of your communication system. From this single, intelligent unit, three dedicated electronic Spokes extend to your most essential equipment. One spoke connects to your VHF for critical communication, another to your AIS for vital navigation and safety data, and the third to your AM/FM radio for onboard entertainment and information. This hub-and-spoke architecture ensures that all signals are managed efficiently and routed to the correct device without interference, all from a single antenna source.
