External Devices and Connections

•

Your CobraMarine VHF radio is set up to connect auxiliary devices for navigation, convenience and added versatility. As is the case with the antenna, choosing these devices is best done with the advice and guidance of a knowledgeable dealer.

Standard connectors are provided on the front and back of the transceiver.

NMEA Communication Cable

Your CobraMarine Radio is set up with an NMEA communication port that allows the radio to communicate with other electronic equipment such as a GPS Chartplotter, Depth Sounder, Auto Pilot, DSC VHF Radio, Radar and Personal Computer with the ability to display information. This capability allows for the operator to do Position Polling and Position Requests directly from the radio. The NMEA input and output leads are directed through the NMEA communication port.

NMEA Cable

External Speaker (Not Included)

An External Speaker can provide greater volume to hear messages than the speaker in the transceiver.

To Install an External Speaker:

1.Connect the speaker positive (+) wire to the orange wire coming out of the standard speaker/PA wire harness.

2.Connect the speaker negative (-) wire to the black/white wire coming out of the standard speaker/PA wire harness.
