[CA] [CA11] SPX5 SeaTalk to NMEA 0183

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Fyaskin

Q. Does the SPX5 bridge GPS info from Seatalk to its NMEA out?
A. Negative. Most Raymarine products featuring a NMEA 0183 output will support supplying NMEA 0183 data to up to three NMEA 0183 listeners. Should more than three NMEA 0183 listeners need to be receive data from the Raymarine product, then a NMEA 0183 expander would be utilized. Should the NMEA 0183 capabilities of Garmin products has the same capability, then you may want to consider simply paralleling the NMEA 0183 output from the GPSMAP 640 which is presently interfaced to the NMEA 0183 input port of the ST6001. The paralleled NMEA 0183 OUT+ and OUT- leads would then be interfaced to the 4800 BAUD NMEA 0183 input leads of the DSC VHF radio.
