GX 2200 Radio to Lowrance HDS Gen 3 Plotter using NMEA-0183
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2021 12:52 pm
I have attempted to find the answer to my question in past posts on this and other forums but I can't find or I can't understand the exact answer which, I am sure is probably very simple for anyone who actually understands NMEA-0183 TALKERs and LISTENERs
Specifically, I have a Lowrance Gen 3 HDS plotter on which I wish to get DCS and AIS info. Attached to the plotter I have a GX2200 GPS AIS VHF. I do presently have DSC info showing up on the plotter with the basic NMEA-0183 connections of:
VHF TALKER A (gray) CONNECTED TO GPS LISTENER A (orange)
VHF TALKER B (brown) CONNECTED TO GPS LISTENER B (green)
VHF LISTENER A (blue) CONNECTED TO GPS TALKER A (yellow)
VHF LISTENER B (green) CONNECTED TO GPS TALKER B (blue)
Reading up on jimh's many informative postings, I understand that there are two additional talkers (white and yellow) on the VHF that need to be combined with other of the VHF's wiring and connected to the plotters wires to get AIS and DSC info to show on the plotter.
What wires are spliced together to make this magic happen?
ASIDE. I am a new forum participant but a long-time lurker who is appreciative of all the great advice on this forum.
