The SBS-3 comes with a throw out aerial for the AIS and ATC signals and I am using that one to receive the AIS plots. I know that I could buy a better one but to be honest I don't really need it. I can receive the plots of the ships that I can see outside my window and that's enough for me. I'm more interested in the planes :-)
And the throw out aerial isn't that bad anyway. Yesterday I received plots from a ship about 25NM away until it disappeared behind the horizon.
