[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Tony,

Q1. I am a bit confused. What are the major and minor differences between the a127 and e127?

Q2. I believe they are both wifi enabled? I would like to think that I understand the following on the e127:

A2a >NO module/sounder is needed for the fishfinder/sounder ... correct
A2b >The B744V Transducer I have installed can be used ... fishfinder transducers designed for use with the DSM300/DSM30/DSM250 may be adapted (w/E66066 Transducer Adapter) for use with an ax7/cx7/e7D/ex7/eSx7 MFD
A2c >The GPS antenna is built in? ... yes
A2d >I can use an external GPS antenna? ... yes. Both the e127 and a127 MFDs maybe interfaced to a Raystar 130 5Hz GPS Sensor. Alternatively, the a12x MFDs may be interfaced to a GA150 10Hz GPS Antenna.
A2e >If the unit is built in I MUST use an external Raystar? ... Should the MFD not be installed in a location affording it an unobstructed view of the skies overhead, then it may be necessary to interface the MFD to a Raystar 130 or GA150. Will a Raystar 125 (the one I am using with my classic C120) work? ... Yes.

Q3. MANY thanks for any input as I am ready to buy and retire my C120 Legacy system
