Per the prior response, it is recommended that you verify that properly formatted NMEA 0183 WPL and RTE sentences are being received within the MFD's NMEA 0183 receive (RX) buffer. Should these sentences not be received, then the MFD's NMEA 0183 circuitry may be tested by performing a wraparound test of the MFD's NMEA 0183 port.

NMEA 0183 Wrap-around Test Procedure:
1) Confirm that the MFD is receiving a GPS position FIX or instrument data
2) Configure the MFD's NMEA 0183 port to NMEA 4800.
3) The MFD's NMEA 0183 Port may be tested as follows:
a) Splice/connect the MFD NMEA 0183 Cable's NMEA 0183 IN+ lead (white) to the MFD NMEA 0183 Cable's NMEA 0183 Cable's NMEA OUT+ lead (yellow).
b) Splice/connect the MFD NMEA 0183 Cable's NMEA 0183 Cable's NMEA IN- lead (green) to the MFD NMEA 0183 Cable's NMEA 0183 Cable's NMEA OUT- lead (brown).
4) The MFD's NMEA 0183 Port buffer will then be monitored to verify that it is receiving data. The MFD's NMEA 0183 Rx buffers may be viewed as follows:
a) MENU->SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS->EXTERNAL INTERFACES->NMEA0183
b) DIRECTION->RX
c) Configure the DIRECTION function key to Rx
d) START BUFFER
e) Should NMEA 0183 sentences be observed within the buffer featuring the Rx direction indicator, then the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port would be deemed to be operational. Should no NMEA 0183 sentences be observed within the buffer featuring the Rx direction indicator, then the MFD's NMEA 0183 port would be deemed to be not operational and should be serviced by Raymarine’s Product Repair Center.
