Description

The Shakespeare 396-1-AIS Broadband VHF for AIS System is designed for serious boaters and commercial operators who require reliable marine communications. This antenna is ideal for vessels that need effective vessel tracking and distress capabilities, making it suitable for fishing charters, search and rescue operations, and navigating busy shipping lanes.

Featuring a broadband VHF reception integrated with AIS (Automatic Identification System) transmission, this antenna optimizes signal clarity across the full VHF spectrum. The 55-inch stainless steel radiator element ensures excellent vertical radiation patterns, providing reliable communication over long distances, even in challenging sea conditions. Its rugged construction is designed to withstand salt spray, UV exposure, and mechanical shock typical of demanding marine environments.

Vessel operators benefit from the integrated AIS functionality, which allows for automatic vessel identification and collision avoidance monitoring while maintaining full duplex VHF voice communication. This antenna's compact form factor, measuring 3 inches in diameter and weighing 3 pounds, makes installation straightforward on various mounting surfaces without creating excessive wind load or structural stress.
