I have just purchased TZT9F and DRS2D-NXT radar. Waiting until early Spring to install.
I currently have a relatively new fluxgate rate compass (COMNAV SSRC1) with a relatively new autopilot (COMNAV P2C).
(The brochure for COMNAV SSRC1 compass suggests it outputs HEADING in both NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 formats. I am following up with COMNAV for more info about this.)
The installation manual for the TZT9F is a bit confusing/contradictory re HEADING input:
"Heading input to TZT9F allows functions such as Radar Overlay and course stabiliza-
tion (North up, etc.) in the radar operating modes. The NMEA0183 heading refresh
rate needs to be 100 ms in order for any radar function to work properly. NMEA0183
heading can be accepted on any CAN bus port at a baud rate up to 38400 bps."
Does this mean the TZT9F can accept HEADING input in unconverted NMEA0183 format?
Thanks.
