Tim,

It would recommend that the value priced Axiom 7 MFD be considered for this application such as this. Each of the items which you have listed may be adapted for use with this MFD. An E22158 SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Kit and an E70196 VHF NMEA 0183 to STng Converter Kit would be linked together via an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Backbone Cable to support interfacing the unpowered SeaTalk buss (currently linking the SHS (support for heading only), ST60 instruments, and RS125) and DSC VHF Radio to the backbone respectively. As indicated previously, Raymarine has not manufactured products which supported linearization and alignment of the SHS in some time, as this product was been replaced within Raymarine's product lineup by the EV-1 CCU (heading, pitch, and roll sensor / course computer) and the soon to be released AR200 IP Camera Stabilization Module (external GPS & heading/pitch/roll sensor).

The Axiom 7 MFD runs Raymarine's LightHouse 3 operating system which will soon support Advanced Sailing features similar to those currently found in MFDs running LightHouse II software. These features will be added to the MFD though a simple software update designed to be performed by the MFD owners.
