for most AIS receivers.

remote sonar unit.
• None—provides no interfacing capabilities.
Port 2
• NMEA In/NMEA Out—supports the input or output of standard NMEA
0183 data, DSC, and sonar NMEA input support for the DPT, MTW, and
VHW sentences. You can also adjust the NMEA output.

ports set to NMEA In/NMEA Out to use this option. Settings affect both Port 1
and Port 2 NMEA outputs.
