[CA] [CA11] nmea to seatalkng

[Bejasus]

I currently have the following set up which has been partially upgraded over the years.

1. a97 - replaced my E80 at the helm when the screen backlight failed
2. ST70 mfd - this is at the nav station
3. i70s - this replaced another ST70 at the helm
4. p70 - auto pilot control head at the helm
5. EV-1, ACU 400 and rudder reference. these replaced an old Simrad AC 20
6. Raymarine wind indicator and converter pod
7. Airmar depth transducer and converter pod
8. Airmar speed/temp transducer and converter pod
9. Raymarine GPS
10. Raymarine digital radar
11. Raymarine AIS A
12. Raymarine Ray240 VHF

My plan is to replace the Ray240 and AIS with an Icom M506 with integrated AIS

I need to know the best way to network this into my Seatalkng back bone.

Can I simply plug the NMEA converter cable into the ST70 at the nav station and enable the system to receive the ais information on the a97
