  Is it possible to use the AMP reading from the VPX and display it on the EMS page? (not use shunt at all) If so how do you get it to show? Evey thing else works great.

It's not. The direct amps reading still comes from the shunt, although you can set alarms for the VP-X current limits. Comprehensive amps information from the VP-X is shown on the VP-X page though, which gives you a really nice picture of the battery/loads/alternator output if you have both the shunt (in position A or B, per our manual) and the VP-X installed.

  Thanks for the reply, I will install a hall effect sensor, ordered it today. Also wanted to add that I just powered up the Skyview W/ VPX  and it all works great. I was amazed that the GPS and the ADSB both had reception on the ground in my garage with the door closed.
