Connects to the vessel's ground.
2 DSC ANTENNA CONNECTOR (p. 62)
Connects to a 50 Ω HF marine band antenna
through a 50 Ω PL-259 coax for a DSC receiver.
This antenna is used for receiving Distress calls.

Connects to a GPS receiver to input position and
UTC data for DSC operations. (NMEA 0183 ver. 4.10
format)
L An NMEA ver. 4.10 (sentence formatter: GGA,
GLL, GNS, RMC, VTG) compatible GPS receiver
is required. Ask your dealer about suitable GPS
receivers.
