Tim,

Q1. Just to clarify, I looking at fitting the long retired A50D...
A1. Noted. My last response was formulated with this knowledge.

Q2. Just so I've got it all right...
- Take the seatalk1 connector from the RC530...
- Connect to a D244 Seatalk1 junction box
- Connect a Seatalk1 to SeatalkNG (yellow?) from the d244 to a network backbone E22158... the A50D then connects to the backbone..
A2. Correctly stated:
- Unplug the SeaTalk Cable from the RC530's SeaTalk socket
- Connect to a D244 SeaTalk Junction Block
- Connect the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Cable supplied with the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Kit to the D244 SeaTalk Junction Block
- Connect the other end of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Cable supplied with the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Kit to the yellow socket of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter
- Link the A50D's SeaTalkng socket (white) to one of the SeaTalkng sockets (white) of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter using an an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Spur Cable
- insert one to the supplied SeaTalkng Termination Plugs (blue) into each of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter's backbone (blue) sockets.

NOTE: Should this system ever grow to include additional products featuring a SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 communications interface, then the SeaTalk bus will need to be disconnected from its present source of power and the SeaTalk bus will then powered via the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone (in this small system presently consists of only the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter and the A50D MFD) via the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter.
