Hello Steve, This tech was pretty sharp, he was not reading from the manual - it is a 2003, so I believe him when he says it is 1.5 There also is no mention at all of versions, let alone Baud rates, , he said it was 4800, period. The only thing I can adjust in the setup is turning sentences on an

Re: Stus-List NMEA 0183 Ver.1.5 to 3.0

Well, maybe not as many listeners as you want; typically, NMEA says you can use up to three, and that's a pretty safe limit in my experience. Getting GPS data from the RL80CRC shouldn't be an issue at 4800 baud; but the AIS info from the radio WILL NOT be recognized by the RL80CRC; I'm not sure
