What sort of range are you getting? There was a lot of discussion in other sailing forums about where to place AIS antennas. Apparently some offshore racing classes require that AIS antennas be at the masthead, giving range of up to 60 miles. I guess I could understand that for a racing yacht that is going 20 knots, but for an average sailor, I think a range of 10 miles or so is quite adequate, and perhaps even desired in busy areas.
