B&G V50 VHF radio and H50 wireless handset

After last year’s first official trip and a rescue where I spent almost 2 hours on the VHF radio with the Coast Guard, I made it a priority to upgrade Grace’s capabilities to be more safe and usable. That experience was early on in Grace’s life with me, and the VHF radio, cabling, and antenna were absolutely abysmal. I also wanted a DSC capable radio for my crew to use in case of an emergency because of it’s ease of use.

Did you join the cable of the VHF and the AIS output from the splitter into the V50 VHF port?

I’m not sure I completely understand your question…

The AIS splitter has a single input/connection for an antenna, and then dedicated outputs/connections for an AIS transponder, and a VHF radio. The connection from the splitter for the VHF radio went directly to the V50.
