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.
You can not compare my things with offshore racing. I am just a river traveller at the moment in Mass netherlands. Anyways i was mostly testing the 2 given Antennas with the Trust one and some you can find in the resources. And was for purpose to test with plane trafic. The antennas get for plane traffic betwhen 150 and 250 km I am not reading much in different forums mostly because of the english language that is used there. And you know here about my talents...
