by Egon L. Flag of Germany 1/30/2023 Verified purchase
Only conditionally suitable for on-board use
Significantly larger and heavier than other passive GPS antennas, only 5 meters of cable (not enough from the pushpit or the equipment rack) and then also defective. Luckily I still had an old Raymarine GPS antenna with which the Weatherdock AIS transponder, which otherwise worked very well, worked without any problems.

The second star only because hopefully the next antenna will work. I've been waiting for the exchange for over 2 weeks. Since Weatherdock still room for improvement.
