I want to connect my GX1600 to my Axiom 9 to enable DSC communications between the MFD and the radio. The GX1600 outputs NMEA 0183 and I have a SeaTalkng Network on my boat. (Just the Raymarine SeaTalkng Starter Kit)
I have been told several different solutions when I call the Raymarine Support line. After doing some research it appears that the Raymarine VHF 0183 to SeaTalkng Converter Kit would be the best option. The radio has the NMEA I/O cable ending in 4 leads which I believe would connect to the 4 lead yellow cable coming from the yellow port on the converter. Would this setup enable both the radio and the Axiom 9 to show boat positions on the chart and also show the position coordinates on the radio?
Thanks for your help.
