Vesper XB8000, XB6000, and SP160 Discontinued

The Vesper XB series has been discontinued and no longer available. There is no direct replacement but we strongly recommend looking at the Vesper Cortex M1 as an alternative, basically an XB-8000 on steroids. If you were looking at getting an XB-8000 and the SP-160 splitter the Cortex M1 is a 5w SOTDMA AIS with the splitter built-in with all the benefits of Vesper's award winning SmartAIS and more!
