I use a Digital Yacht 1500 with a separate antenna. Another antenna is far cheaper than a splitter, won’t malfunction and take out the VHF too, and if the masthead antenna becomes unusable I can connect it to the VHF if I want to. The AIS unit feeds GPS and AIS info to my laptop and the CP-180 in the cockpit and the VHF for DSC along with a NMEA to WiFi unit that can feed various things like an iPhone or iPad.

Thanks to all for responding. So as to my philosophy of electronics/platforms: I do not (try not) replace things that are not broken, keep electronics not front and center (of helm) and keep systems separate so that if one goes down others are still functioning and I am still the active (involved) interface. Was only receiving AIS to laptop via a little black box (SR-161). Never used it (or the chart-plotter) much. Now need a Class B transponder for 2021 Bermuda Race (not WIFI). Seems either a separate unit sharing a VHF antennae with VHF or VHF/AIS integrated are my two choices as IPad receiving AIS needs WIFI to work. Separate AIS is first choice as the VHF/RAM mic work just fine. On the wrong path here? Oh and radar, autopilot and sailing instruments are Raymarine. Again all running separately. Thanks in advance.

There can be dead spots where no shore based station is loading data on the internet. Of course you have to have cell coverage and only other boats using a similar app see your boat - not others using regular ais over the air.

Other raw nmea apps have the radar like displays - iRegatta has a panel like that. Of course you have to get the AIS data there over WiFi.

Without the laptop I have lost my AIS. Started googling around “AISing” the IPad and thought I would tap into the brain trust and save me some screen face time. I assume it is possible. Or is a AIS/VHF the better route. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
