NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000
When you connect the radio to a NMEA® 0183 device or a NMEA 2000® network, you can transfer received DSC distress and position information to any compatible connected chartplotter (NMEA).
The VHF 215/215i AIS radio models can also transfer the AIS position of nearby vessels to any compatible connected chartplotter.
For more information on connecting the radio to a NMEA 0183 device or a NMEA 2000 network, see the Installation Instructions.
NOTE:
The radio cannot communicate with
NMEA 0183 and
NMEA 2000 devices at the same time. Only one protocol can be active at a time (Communicating Over
NMEA 0183 or
NMEA 2000).
