The Comar AV300 is a premium, AIS-tuned antenna designed specifically for use with AIS Class A and Class B transponders, as well as AIS receivers. Unlike standard marine VHF antennas, which are optimized for voice communication frequencies (~156 MHz), the AV300 is engineered for the AIS frequency band (around 162 MHz), providing superior signal strength and range for AIS transmissions and reception.
This makes the AV300 the perfect companion for dedicated AIS installations where maximum performance and reliability are essential.
Optimized for AIS frequencies (159–165 MHz) for enhanced AIS range and reliability
High gain with low VSWR at AIS frequencies
Rugged fiberglass construction, built to withstand harsh marine environments
Standard 1" threaded ferrule for easy mounting on a wide range of hardware
Compatible with all AIS transponders and receivers
AIS signals operate on dedicated VHF frequencies that differ from standard marine voice channels. Using a standard VHF antenna can reduce AIS range and signal clarity. The Comar AV300 is purpose-built for the AIS band, delivering the strongest possible signal and maximizing your AIS system’s potential.
For best results, a dedicated AIS antenna like the AV300 ensures clear separation between your voice VHF and AIS, reducing interference and improving safety at sea.
