a98 NMEA 0183 output sentences

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum heatz,

It is recommended that you verify that your MFD has been updated with the latest a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD software (v16.47 at the time of this response), and if not updated accordingly. After doing so, it is recommended that you configure your MFD to display a Databox and then configure that Databox to be populated with the Depth data item. Should the Depth data item not be dashes, then the MFD will transmit the DBT and DPT NMEA 0183 sentences unless the list of NMEA 0183 output sentences (HOME->SET-UP->SYSTEM SETTINGS->NMEA SET-UP->NMEA OUTPUT SETTINGS) has been changed by the operator.
