Configuring DSC NMEA Transmissions

You can filter the types of DSC-call data the radio sends to a connected NMEA® 0183 device or over a NMEA 2000® network.

  1. Select MENU > COMMUNICATIONS > DSC OUTPUT.
  2. Select an option:
    • To send NMEA data when you receive a DSC call from any MMSI number, select ALL VESSELS, and proceed to the last step.

    • To disable sending NMEA data when you receive a DSC call, select NO VESSELS, and proceed to the last step.

    • To send NMEA data only when you receive a call from a vessel in your directory, select SELECT VESSELS, and proceed to the next step.

      NOTE: When you configure the radio for SELECT VESSELS, all received DSC-distress-call data is sent over NMEA, even if the vessel is not in your directory.
  3. Select a vessel in your directory.
  4. Select an option:
    • To send all DSC-call data from this vessel, select ON.

    • To send DSC-distress-call data only from this vessel, select OFF.

  5. Repeat this process for each vessel in your directory.
  6. Select BACK to save your changes and exit the menu.
