Well, you haven't had the
AIS receiver in the system that long as class B was introduced just 4 years ago but even so, if it was going to damage it, it would likely have done so by now. Just for the OP's sake though, it's not the prudent thing to do. You obviously have an excellent
installation there, your fine with the antenna's in very close proximity and you've had no issues with it. I'd be a little too concerned about transmitting 25 watts on the primary
VHF that close to an
AIS receiving
antenna. The splitter has some loss so that may be helping the AIS receiver. Who knows? At least the 2 meter rig is removed in frequency by around 10Mhz.
