I am purchasing the parts for a cheap AIS setup

Do i buy a vhf antenna for walkie talkies? 16 euros, light, 2dbi, <2 vswr male sma so straight onto the rtl sdr

Or a cheap standard marine band antenna? 40 euros, 2.5dbi, <1.5 vswr with a pl259 and cable so needs an adapter

I'm gonna get a nanoVFA in a month so the antenna should be a cheap portable stopgap solution since ill be able to just build my own antennas

static image shown by sensor, zoom doesnt work, image does not change with light, probably not a viewfinder issue, still i can try to view on a separate screen, also gotta find the clock battery. Playback does work with no issues

3d printed a fake battery that holds a usbc pd board that outputs 5v, connected to two pieces of metal that act as contacts for the battery, allows me to power this with my power bank, so basically unlimited power!!!!!
