Screaming deal on icom AIS receiver

[daviduphoff]

I just picked one of these up for $150.00 with the shipping by making an offer. I read reviews and asked someone in the know. I was told it was easy to hook up and at $150.00 was less than dealer cost. Only problem is no warranty.

Did it come with instructions ? If not I presume it/they can be found online.

I found them online.

I'm not sure if it will come with instructions as I just bought it today.

Do you need to run a different antenna for AIS?

No, not for THIS one, it uses a splitting devise whereby you run your existing VHF antenna wire IN, then back OUT to the radio.

Instruction manual is on the Icom website.
