[CA11] C80 MFD and RS130 - Capt Joll - 03-09-19 09:29 AM
New here on this forum, and although been on the water on the Great Lakes all my life, I'm new to Raymarine electronics.
I'm realizing that this networking is a bit more complicated than I had originally thought, but learning ton of valuable information on here.
I currently have a C80 MFD, which I use with an RD424 radar scanner. Great combo, and a useful tool when I need it in the fog. This was an easy set up as the scanner cable just plugs into the back of the C80 MFD. However the RS130 GPS antenna I have is not as simple. I know the RS130 uses the Seatalkng language (NMEA 2000), and the C80 display can use Seatalk 1 (NMEA 0183) and Seatalk 2 (NMEA 2000).
My question about getting this set up is, does that RS130 have to be networked through the Seatalk 1 to Seatalkng converter kit, E22158?
Or can I network this through a Seatalkng 5-way connector, CWRE-33175, with a Seatalk 2 to Seatalkng adapter cable, A06048, plugged into the back of my C80 MFD?
I'd appreciate any insight, I'm looking to get this going before my boat goes in the water 5 weeks.
Thanks!
Chris

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Chris,
Q1. My question about getting this set up is, does that RS130 have to be networked through the Seatalk 1 to Seatalkng converter kit, E22158?
A1. Yes. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. Please additionally note that the Raystar 130 GPS Sensor has been succeeded by the Raystar 150 GPS Sensor, both of which would be interfaced to a C-Series Classic MFD in the same manner.
Q2. Or can I network this through a Seatalkng 5-way connector, CWRE-33175, with a Seatalk 2 to Seatalkng adapter cable, A06048, plugged into the back of my C80 MFD?
A2. Negative. The software of C-Series Classic MFDs is not designed to support SeaTalkng communications.
