AIS transceivers can be a lifesaver when it comes to monitoring busy shipping lanes, but adding another antenna to a crowded electronics array can be challenging. Shakespeare's AIS antenna reliably handles broader AIS bandwidth requirements in a low-profile design that's easy to mount. Compact, durable and lightweight, the AIS Antenna is a 91 cm stainless steel whip antenna. Its tin-plated, copper wire coil is housed in a sealed, chrome-plated brass canister that minimizes troublesome de-tuning associated with plastic canisters.
