Scout KS-50 3db AIS Fibreglass Whip Antenna 1.5M (5′)

Description

The Scout KS-50 AIS is a professional 1.5m (5′) marine antenna specifically tuned on the AIS frequency to acquire the maximum number of targets/vessels present nearby.

Solid construction with heavy duty fiberglass and brass components, fully foam injected, painted with anti-UV filter to avoid colour deterioration, built with waterproof UHF (PL) female termination.

Releasing the lock nut makes the antenna easily removable from its mount, which is particularly useful during winter storage or during transport of the vessel. Standard ferrule 1″ x 14 threads to fit on every type of mount.

It matches aesthetically with the VHF antenna model KS-50.

AIS stands for Automatic Identification System, which is an automated tracking system used on ships and by Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) for identifying and locating vessels by electronically exchanging data with other nearby ships and VTS stations. AIS transponders use two different frequencies; VHF maritime channels 87B (161.975 MHz) and 88B (162.025 MHz).
