Have just fitted Simrad A150 AIS transponder,connected it to its own vhf whip aerial was only picking up boats within 1.5 nm and they werent picking me up.I had an old JRC navtext aerial on my mast so tried connecting this to the A150 right away I was picking up boats 12nm away and boats were picking me up 6 to 7 miles away can anybody see a problem with what Ive done.The aerial looks ancient it was connected to a Lokata Navtex with a paper roll,and the cable was just standard coaxial.
Any thoughts greatly acceptrd
