[CA] [CA11] Axiom 9RV pre-purchase questions

[Mike_EE]

Hi -

I'm very close to purchasing an Axiom 9RV, but I think that I have run into a couple of minor roadblocks and have several questions:

1 - It appears that non-Pro Axioms do not natively support NMEA0183, and I have an older Raymarine VHF DSC fixed-mount transceiver (215) that needs NMEA0183. Am I correct that the following kit will supply NMEA0183 to the 215 from the 9RV:

2 - Can I then use one of the NMEA2000 (white) ports on the converter to establish connectivity to another NMEA2000 device, namely a Fusion MS-IP700i by using a SeaTalkNG to NMEA2000 cable?

3 - I'm I correct in assuming that the NMEA2000 connector on the 9RV's power connector does not supply bias (power) to the NMEA2000 bus?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Mike
