"Position request"?
Section 9.7 in the manual?
Yes. 6.5.1 talks about “dsc output to a plotter” but I think that my be a slightly convoluted way of saying that it outputs gps data. 9.7 suggests this incoming position data is displayed, but there’s no clear indication that the data is output on the rs422 line(s) and no indication of what the sentence headers are.
Not that Ray would ever tell anybody what Lighthouse listens to or would display.
. It might be interesting to see another vessel populated in the chart display. It amounts to no more than a cool toy.
John, yeah, that’s kinda the way I read it too. The Ray a65 does not state anyplace that it’s literate enough to understand the dialect, so even if the data were output to the bus, there’s probably less guarantee that it would know what to do with it.
Such is the fun with this stuff. The possibility exists, reality is usually something quite different.
On the upside, however, the latest firmware for the Ram3 does display it, abet, as a gps position. Big deal.
