Digital Yacht GV30 VHF AIS GPS Combo Antenna

A Class B AIS transponder requires its own dedicated GPS antenna, since regulations require every Class B unit to have internal GPS and prohibit using an external feed for that purpose. It also needs a VHF antenna or a suitable VHF-AIS splitter, which means a typical AIS install often calls for two or three separate antennas before the Digital Yacht GV30 simplifies that entirely. That's a lot of hardware and cable runs for what's fundamentally one job.

The GV30 combines VHF/AIS and GPS into a single antenna with twin coax feeds, each 10 meters long, cutting the usual multi-antenna install down to one unit and one mounting point. It's fitted with a standard 1-inch threaded base, so it mounts onto the wide range of deck, pole, and rail attachments already available from third-party suppliers. That standard thread means it isn't locked into a proprietary mount that limits installation options.

The 10-meter coax cables terminate in FME mini connectors, a design choice that makes running the cable through tight spaces noticeably easier than pulling a bulkier connector through the same route. That smaller connector profile is a genuine convenience during installation. It's especially helpful on a boat where cable runs have to snake through limited access points behind panels and liners.
