[CA] [CA11] SeaTalk ng GPS Output

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Tom,

This is a common mistake for those unfamiliar with the actual communications supported by the VHF radio. In an attempt to make it easier for those interfacing a VHF radio to a source of GPS data, some manufacturers have substituted the text "GPS IN+" and "GPS IN-" on the labels attached to the VHF radio for the text "NMEA 0183 IN+" and "NMEA 0183 IN-" respectively. If so, then the previously stated instructions may be changed to read as follows: he MFD's NMEA 0183 Port output leads (OUT+ (yellow) and OUT- (brown)) may be interfaced to the VHF radio's NMEA 0183 input leads/terminals ("GPS IN+" and "GPS IN-" respectively).
