Does this dongle has a builtin lna and 162 mhz filter?

Yes ... loaded it up on my Raspberry Pi 4 along with PiAware and didn't have any problems working side-by-side. The antenna they sell for it is the same as the ADS-B antennas for some reason. Wavelength of 162Mhz is ~6ft. Wavelength of 1090Mhz is about 10 inches. The antenna is about 26 inches. For AIS that means it is about a 1/3 dipole and for ADS-B it is ~2.5 dipole ... Recommend getting antennas with better matches to 1, 1/2 or 1/4 dipole for best performance.

Which antenna is required with the shipxplorer ais dongle?

Hello.I use a normal vhf antenna you can find cheap vhf antennas on ebay. Regards Janne
