AIS: USB dongle or via integrated VHF radio?
#6
Thanks everyone.  Regarding the VHF radios I've seen, most don't broadcast AIS (I think), just receive.  I'm assuming these things just have a built in splitter anyway with similar losses?  Still researching my options.

Regarding the dongle, I've read that a high quality splitter is important.  Any advice on a good one?  Will this one do?

For the dongle itself, I've seen people talk about the RTL-SDR and the NooEeec, both similarly priced?  Which way to go?

Regarding the Moitessier-hat, I don't think it's quite ready to go for my RPI4, and even when it is ready, I'm worried about access for cooling since I think I'm going to need a fan pointed at that CPU.
