Howdy, today’s question is about AIS.
I know I don’t have to have one, only a 39’ boat.
I want one to give myself every advantage out on the water I can get. I can’t buy personal experience so electronics are on the shopping list.
I was looking at the Vesper xb-6000 and xb-8000. The 8000 has Wi Fi but I don’t know why I need it? It has a lot of great functions and is compatible with my Coastal Explorer program and uses the existing vhf antenna with the purchase of a pricy splitter.
The xb-6000 does not have wi-fi and I’m not sure about all the functions. It comes with a GPS antenna. I wonder if I couldn’t share the existing GPS antenna though as I am already doing that with my nav program?
Anyone have these units?
Thanks
