I purchased the same unit at the Miami boat show. However, I also purchased a VHF splitter so that I could connect the unit to my existing VHF antenna.
It sounds like I do not need the splitter. I did not realize that the unit could receive the information via the AM/FM radio input.
Is there something special about the AM/FM radio antenna on that model of Amel, or can the AIS unit receive its signal from a standard AM/FM antenna
