[CA] Raystar 125 versus GA150 on Axiom Pro

[highsurf]

Hello, my functioning Raymarine C80 setup is being replaced with an Axiom Pro. The current C80 uses a Raystar 125 on top of my pilot house. I plan to continue to use an external GPS receiver.

The Raystar 125 would use NMEA 0183.

The cost to me of the GA150 isn't much because I have a store credit I could use. Its just a matter of removing the old one.

Is there much benefit in replacing the Raystar 125 with a GA150?

Thanks,

Mike

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Mike,

Axiom and Axiom Pro MFDs relying upon the MFD's internal GPS receiver will support 10Hz GPS position updates. Likewise, Axiom Pro MFDs will also support 10Hz GPS position updates when interfaced to a GA150 GPS Antenna. A Raystar 150 GPS Sensor is designed to supply the system with 10Hz GPS position updates, while a Raystar 130 GPS Sensor (retired) which has been updated with the latest available Raymarine product software update will supply the system with 5Hz GPS position updates. The Raystar 125 GPS Sensor is limited to transmitting 1Hz GPS position updates to interfaced marine electronics products.
