SOLARA DSC NMEA0183 GPS Input Connection Specification

This section is useful when attaching an external GPS to the SOLARA DSC radio. Many GPS units have a setup menu to be able to configure the NMEA0183 serial data output. This output can be used to supply information to other devices on the vessel, such as the SOLARA DSC VHF radio, auto pilots, chart plotters, etc.

1.Baud Rate – Set the Baud rate to 4800.

2.Data Bits – Set the Data Bits to 8.

3.Parity – Set the Parity to None.

4.Stop Bits – Set the Stop Bits to 1.

5.RMC, GLL, GGA, GNS, and ZDA Command – These commands are used by the SOLARA DSC and includes the UTC Time, Latitude, and Longitude.

The data amplitude : Over 3.0V
