NMEA Features

Your radio supports NMEA0183 Version 3.01, a standard for data communication between marine instruments. If you are connected to a chartplotter and the radio receives another boat’s position data (sentences) in a DSC call, the radio sends the position data to the chartplotter so you can see the location.

NMEA sentences contain different sets of data. The MHS135DSC supports the following sentences:

DATA	RMC	GLL	GNS	GGA	ZDA
UTC Time	O	O	O	O	O
Status (Valid/IInvalid)	O	O	O	O	X
Latitude/Longitude	O	O	O	O	X
Speed	O	X	X	X	X
Course	O	X	X	X	X
Date	O	X	X	X	O

The radio can output the following NMEA sentences:

GGA GSV DSC GSA RMC DSE
