162MHz AIS Filtered Preamplifier
Amazing, my ship count had almost doubled, and the distance I an now able to scan is vastly improved.
Very happy with the quality, build, and customer service from the Pi Hut

162MHz AIS Filtered Preamplifier
I bought this from uptronics whilst it was out of stock here, as I bought everything else for my stations from here I thought it would be fair to write a review on pihut since no one else has.
I have two AIS stations here in Greenock, Scotland UK.
On a good day I receive anywhere between 70-80 ships with an average coverage of 70km (nautical miles).
I am currently 112m above sea level with full view of the river. I have my antenna (AIS 162mhz Resonant) mounted 15m above the ground. There is a BT mast at Loch Fyne hosting an AIS Station which dwarfs both my stations together.
So after some tinkering around and fitting low loss Messi and paoloni coax I decided I would but this preamp to maybe improve coverage.
I have bought the 1090mhz version for ADS-B tracking and it worked well. So the AIS preamp arrived today from uptronics and I fitted it inline with my antenna and ctrx receiver.
What a difference! I am now receiving in excess of 110 vessels and my range has shot up to 115km which is a big difference.
Now I just need another one for my remote station.
All in all, well worth the money and I highly recommend to any enthusiast tracking.
