AIS 350 install

DFMott,

Like a VHF radio which does not include an AIS receiver, these VHF radios cannot simultaneously transmit and receive. Outside of periods where the Ray70 is actively engaged in transmitting voice communications, the Ray70's AIS receiver will receive and process AIS data received. In this regard, it is no different than that of an AIS receiver / transceiver and VHF radio which utilize a single VHF antenna via a Class B AIS antenna splitter.
