Lowrance 000-13613-001 GPS-500 Antenna

Lowrance GPS-500 External GPS Antenna (000-13613-001)

The Lowrance GPS-500 is a high-sensitivity, marine-grade External GPS Antenna specifically designed to provide high-precision satellite positioning data to the NAIS-500 Class B AIS Transceiver. Since Class B AIS transceivers require an independent GPS position source to broadcast accurate vessel coordinates to surrounding traffic, the GPS-500 ensures reliable, low-latency fix acquisition under all operating conditions.

Housed in a compact, IPX7 waterproof dome, the GPS-500 comes pre-fitted with a 10-m (33 ft) low-loss coaxial cable terminating in a male SMA connector. This allows flexible mounting high on a cabin roof, arch, or mast pole clear of local structural obstructions, delivering optimal sky-view exposure for high-accuracy positioning.
