NMEA Connections to ST2000+

RiverRunner,

Q1. Is there any way to turn up the alarm sound level? When I reach a waypoint (if under power; the Yanmar YSM8 is loud) I can hardly hear the waypoint advance alarm.
A1. The alarm volume for Raymarine products is not adjustable.

Q2. One last question: some of the forums have been reporting problems with 'more than 4 character' waypoint names. I see no such problem (now). Has this always been just nonsense, or has something been done about it?
A2. As indicated within page 18 of the ST2000+'s manual, "Waypoint advance will only operate if the tiller pilot receives valid bearing to waypoint and waypoint name information. The tiller pilot can only decode the first FOUR characters of a waypoint name. It will not be able to decode names longer than four characters, which will stop the waypoint advance feature from working."
