I’ve just moved my AIS from using an aerial on the pushpit to a masthead aerial with VHF splitter (Raymarine 100).
I understand that this significantly improves the range of receiving signals. But will the transmit range also increase- ie does the increased aerial height overrule the reduction in transmit power due to the splitter?
I’d like to feel confident that ships can see me at over 20 nm away.
