~~All boats shall have an AIS Transponder, sharing a masthead VHF antenna via a low loss AIS antenna splitter. An acceptable alternative is a dedicated AIS antenna that is a minimum of 0.9 meters long, mounted with its base at least 3 meters above the water, and fed with coax that has a maximum 40% power loss.~~ AIS requirement for Coastal is effective January 1, 2024. The ability to transmit an AIS signal is not required by OYRA but the ability to receive an AIS signal is recommended. *OYRA change

Current radio has RECEIVER, but unknown about AIS transponder. This requirement is for OCEAN- Offshore and will be required in 2024. Not a blocker for OYRA 2022.
