Yeah nice configuration and WIFI back to a tablet running Navionics makes it so easy. Unfortunately as of Feb 2023, the XB-8000 is discontinued. Had I known a user could input their own MMSI #, I would have bought this model last season. The replacement brochure looks software complicated but has a integrated antenna splitter.
Thanks for your "101" installation. It's a no brainer now, get it ordered.

Another great video -- I believe that your MMSI number on the AIS should be the same as your VHF radio, if operated on the same boat.
Yes you are correct
A AIS upgrade is due on my boat aswell.
With the installation of the powered splitter you shouldn’t need the mushroom antenna. Side note, I installed it anyway behind the nav station.
I was looking at the Vesper just a few days ago! It looks amazing! And now I am jealous that you have it and I am stuck with Raymarine :-D
