None that I have noticed todate. I have successfully done two-way radio checks with boat with 10 miles and can receive the CG and VTS as well as before the active splitter was installed.
Becasue of wiring configuration limitation, the active splitter is on the antenna side of the VHF / AMFM passive splitter. VHF radio ---> VHF/AMFM splitter ---> Active splitter ---> Antenna
I was careful to get the activie splitter and the VHF radio on the same breaker/fuse so that both either have power or both do not have power. The AIS box is on a separate breaker / fuse.
