Hi I am looking at the 70CRC Radar/Chartplotter/GPS The RL version has the HSB2 bus and the SL does not. Big difference in the price. Apart from having a repeater unit below at the nav station is there any other advantage to having this HSB2 bus. I understand it cannot be added later (dealer info) Thanks

I have the RL70CRC...
..on my 2002 H410. I know that my radar/chart plotter, depth, knot, wind, GPS, gyro and autopilot all talk to each other. The combined system is really fantastic. I'm not sure if you can do that without the HSB2. Im having an RL70C station installed below this winter to replace the RayNav Software laptop link (which is one of the reasons I needed the HSB2 to begin with) but that's another whole story. Also linking the GPS feed from the system to the VHF down below. If you need to know more, e-mail me at mulf@comcast.net

I have the RL70CRC PLUS and thinking of hooking up my laptop below with raynav software PC system,how well did it work.

Tony I think that is the only downside
I believe you can link anything together but the real time remote second station. I have my GPS, autopilot and all my ST60 gauges and I can still get data to my VHF via NMEA outputs(and PC input if I wanted to). I can also feed info up to the chartplotter if I wanted via NMEA inputs(i.e. Waypoints from a PC, etc). None of these are on the HSB bus. The Link below pretty muh explains what you do get with the HSB2
