Not starting an N2K vs. NMEA 0183 debate here but 0183 provides a lot of capabilities, much more than my minimalist handheld GPS and VHF 10-year-old setup When I decided to get some electronics recently, I started with a high-end VHF with built-in GPS and AIS. (S-H VX2200, $260 USD after $40

Steve, I have a Raymarine Seatalk - NMEA converter, about 3 years old but never installed. As Fred says, it’s only 4800 baud, and only does the “normal” NMEA sentences, but it does work in both directions. You can have it for $100 US plus shipping if that would be useful. Contact me off-list

That Raymarine converter is pretty limited in the data it can convert; and it will only do 4800 baud, so if Steve ever wanted to add AIS, he’s need to throw that away and start over. And if there’s a reasonably-priced way to get to NMEA2000 (which I’ve suggested to Steve already), I’d

Hey standard horizon will not control the autopilot. Also, he will not be able to program the depth offset if you have a generic transducer. Joel On Wednesday, February 24, 2016, Stevan Plavsa via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > Kind of a piggyback to Bob's thread. I had

Hi All, Kind of a piggyback to Bob's thread. I had never really considered the CPN 700i prior to checking it out today. I'm waiting on pricing from a local chandlery on a list of Raymarine stuff I'll need to buy in order to get an ES75 working on my boat with my autopilot. Maybe some of you can
