It's line-of-site, Neil
In Response To: No, on the transom. Give us about 20 mile range seeing other vessels with out current AIS receiver

() I would recommend a splitter and using your VHF antenna. We do it.
I don't think that you'll get 20 mile AIS exchanges with a number of boats that you might like to see and be seen by. Take fishing or fast cruising boats.
It's so eay to use your VHF and avoid wiring another antenna to the stern too.

- Yes I have the WM AIS 1000 and love it.
- BTW I'm using a Toshiba netbook for navigation -- it uses a fraction of the power of my full laptop.
