Anyone in the know see any reason this would not work ?

Can't be two talkers on 0183. So the AP TX and GPS TX can't both go into the multiplexer.

I can't really see that diagram well enough to see what he is trying to do. But there are 0183 multiplexers that will allow up to 4 talker inputs.

He had two talkers on one input is what I meant.

The main reason I chose the NoLand AM43 was it collects the complete sentence from the device(s) before sending to the computer. I do appreciate the input if for nothing else but to make me think and review.

If 2 talkers won't work on the #3 input I could connect to the high speed input and reconfigure the baud rate to match the device. (?). I know it can be changed but this method would use the AIS terminals which would the require an expander if AIS is added at a later time. Is this a better option ?

Well it looks like the new AM43 is dead. Appeared to be working for about 10 minutes and then started losing input signals until there was nothing. Grrrr.

Simple wire issue resolved. All appears to work except a small glitch with the sounder. Ready for sea trial.

I have the same CVS-106 MKII - didn't know it spit out 0183! Thanks for that.

Thanks! I've had an 0183 setup for a few years - GPS, AIS to PC and EPIRB. And a more recent Garmin N2K network. I'll be connecting them with an Actisense NGW-1 next week, and then installing a Raymarine AP with its own STNG network. Which I then hope to bridge. So getting some depth data could be handy indeed!
