[CA] [CA11] GA150 and Axiom Pro

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Lance,

Unlike the Raystar 150 GNSS Sensor (combines GNSS antenna and receiver within a single device), the GA150 GNSS Antenna does not feature a GNSS receiver. Like the antenna on an automobile, the GA150 simply gathers signal and passes it to a receiver ... in this case the GNSS receiver of the Axiom Pro MFD. Accordingly, the GA150 is not considered to be a source of GNSS (GPS) data as is the Raystar 150 GPS Sensor or the internal GNSS receiver of the Axiom Pro MFD. Should the Axiom Pro MFD not be interfaced to another source of GPS data, then its internal GPS receiver will function as the source of GNSS data for the system. However, should the system be interfaced to more than one source of GNSS data (ex. MFD, Raystar 150 GPS Sensor AR200, Airmar Weather Station, etc.), then the Data Sources feature within LightHouse 3 would be used to specify which source of GNSS data will be used by the system.

No internal configuration settings need be configured within the MFD when a GA150 GPS receiver has been interfaced to a MFD.
