The AV30 is a lightweight, compact antenna with a polycarbonate body and rubber coated helical whip section, resulting in low windage and ideal for use with the COM100 series AIS receiver.
The antenna is specifically tuned to the AIS band with the Helical matched via a tuning circuit in the base, to allow the antenna to work independently of any ground plane. The epoxy sealed top and bottom ensures watertightness in all weather conditions.
The AV30 is supplied with a right angle bracket and an SO-239 connector in the base for connection to the supplied 3 m RG58 patch lead with PL-259 male to BNC male extension cables.
