Your radio supports NMEA0183, a standard for data communication between marine
instruments. If you are connected to a chartplotter and the radio receives another boat’s
position data (sentences) in a DSC call, the radio sends the position data to the chartplotter
so you can see the location.
NMEA sentences contain different sets of data. The VHF460 supports the following
sentences:
