Raymarine VHF NMEA0183 to STNG Converter Kit
Unlock the full potential of your vessel´s electronic systems with the Raymarine VHF NMEA0183 to STNG Converter Kit. This essential package is expertly designed to bridge the communication gap between your reliable legacy NMEA 0183 devices, such as a VHF radio or AIS unit, and your modern Raymarine SeaTalk NG (STNG) network. Stop compromising on functionality and seamlessly integrate all your marine electronics, old and new, into one cohesive and intelligent system. This kit provides a cost-effective upgrade path, allowing you to retain your trusted NMEA 0183 equipment while benefiting from the advanced capabilities of SeaTalk NG, which is fully NMEA 2000 compatible.
The primary benefit of this converter kit is the enhancement of on-water safety and communication. By translating GPS data from your SeaTalk NG network into the NMEA 0183 format, it enables your VHF radio’s Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functionality. This ensures your radio can transmit precise location information in a distress call, a critical feature for any mariner. Furthermore, it allows your multifunction display to receive and plot the position of other vessels making DSC calls, dramatically improving situational awareness.
This all-in-one kit is not just a converter; it´s a complete starter solution for building or expanding a SeaTalk NG backbone. It includes all the necessary components to create a small, powered network right out of the box, eliminating the guesswork and hassle of sourcing individual parts. The bi-directional data flow means you can also send NMEA 0183 data from older instruments onto the STNG network for display on your modern chartplotters and MFDs.
Key Benefits:
* Enhanced Safety with DSC: Enables your NMEA 0183 VHF radio to receive GPS position data from your STNG network for accurate DSC distress calls and position reporting.
* Seamless System Integration: Unifies older NMEA 0183 electronics with modern Raymarine SeaTalk NG and NMEA 2000 compatible devices, creating a single, interconnected onboard network.
* Cost-Effective Modernization: Allows you to keep your perfectly functional legacy VHF radio or other instruments while upgrading the rest of your system, saving you money.
* Bi-Directional Data Sharing: Translates data in both directions, allowing your MFD to display information from NMEA 0183 devices and your VHF to receive data from the STNG network.
Main Features:
* Converts NMEA 0183 data to SeaTalk NG (NMEA 2000)
* Converts SeaTalk NG (NMEA 2000) data to NMEA 0183
* Simple plug-and-play connection to the STNG backbone
* Powered directly by the network, requiring no separate power source for the converter
* Supports key NMEA 0183 sentences for GPS, navigation, and DSC
* Robust, marine-grade construction for reliability in harsh environments
