Hi all,
An external GPS is failing on an e80 MFD. The GPS is currently spliced then sent to the Seatalk/Alarm input. The gps antenna currently installed is no longer available, question is what are my options here?
I'm assuming these are valid?
1.) any gps which outputs sentences in NMEA2000 and plug into the display's seatalk2 plug (which i am assuming is a standard NMEA2000 (devicenet) plug ?)
2.) any gps which outputs in NMEA0183 and splice to the R08004 cable (no longer available I believe)
3.) Any gps antenna again with NMEA0183 and splice to E55054 which goes into the unit's seatalk/alarm plug
could I use the RS150 GPS Sensor from Raymarine and retrofit it somehow to go into the seatalk2 plug at the back?
Thanks,
Rom
