KA-09 New Product!
Reliable GPS is a very necessary requirement. Particularly this is true for AIS equipped boats as loss of or intermittent GPS signal will prevent the collision computer in your AIS receiver from calculating collision alarms reliably. Without a rock-solid GPS signal the plotter cannot calculate where your boat is relative to another that might be on a collision course and other vessels may see only your last GPS fixed transmission. This is particularly important as if your GPS fails and your last fixed position is, say, 1 mile away, another vessel will rightly assume that you are in fact 1 mile away and clear to pass.
Mounting for the KA-09 is the standard 1 inch 14 threads used by almost all manufacturers of GPS aerials and mounts. The aerial will come with a standard plastic surface mount base which can be upgraded to any of the bases shown in the galley images.
An interesting development to the KA-09 is that the receiving head can be removed from the body and mounted very neatly and conveniently direct to any horizontal surface; a mounting plate is included in the box.
