John,

Q1. With the EV1 will I be able to eliminate my NMEA heading compass ?
A1. Should the system feature a hsb2 Pathfinder Series Radar Display, then a 10Hz stabilized heading source would be recommended for support of the system's MARPA feature. The EV-1 CCU is designed to meet this requirement. As indicated within my initial response, a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Kit or a NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device (ex. Actisense NGW-1-ISO, etc.) would be used to interface the autopilot to your hsb2 Pathfinder Series Fishfinder/Chartplotter Display. Should a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Kit be used, 1Hz heading updates will be supplied to the system. Should a NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device (ex. Actisense NGW-1-ISO, etc.) be installed, then 10Hz heading data would be supplied to the system. Should the system not feature a hsb2 Pathfinder Series Radar Display, then 1Hz heading updates my well suffice.

Q2. Will my current RS120 work with this system or do I need to look for an 125 ?
A2. Should your current RS120 GPS Sensor be operational, then there would be no need to replace it. However, if replacing it, then it would be recommended that a Raystar 150 GPS Sensor be used.
