Hi Wayne,
the reasons for a NMEA input on the NX300 D are two.
First, with a location data the system may avoid to receive messages
from distant stations, i.e it makes an automatic selection of stations
to get active.
Second, that's my reason for , the receiver displays, in a very
comfortable way, navigation's data. So I have on the charttable always
position, course and speed under easy control. I avoid to install a
NMEA repeater or a Raymarine graphic unit.
Unfortunally there has been a failure, and despite my many years of
electronics, I cannot repair by myself for lack of schematics and for
the very professional manufacturing characteristics of the item ( SMD
, metal screens etc.) The RX300 and many others Furuno equipments, are
very good pieces of electronic.
That's all !
Cheers
Manlio
