I've installed 2.0 and kplex ( or similar) is not an option, just says "coming soon"  in the settings window.  How do you get NMEA data out to network devices in OpenPlotter 2.0?

The Signal K Team thinks that Signal K is capable of doing the job. Have a look at the available plugins.
You can get the NMEA 0183 sentences from Signal K on TCP port 10110 (The same way as opencpn gets the data). I haven' t tried to output NMEA 0183 to the autopilot from Signal K with 4800 baud.

So kplex will be only an alternativ to manage the NMEA 0183.
Kplex has to send all data to Signal K and has to listen to data comming from Signal K (only important for the converted NMEA 2000 data).
