Compass compatible with NAVNET VX2 RDP-149

Is there a list of compasses that are compatible with the NAVNET VX2 RDP-149 display/processor? Or specs? Looks like there are used fluxgate devices from Raytheon (as an example) on eBay. Is there a wiring diagram? These devices have 5 leads and the RDP-149 dataports have 7 contacts. Thanks,
 
The Vx2 uses either AD10 four wire heading data (which is a must if you have an ARPA board and wish to use ARPA) or NMEA 0183 heading (two wire +/-). If the Raytheon puts out heading in standard certified NMEA 0183 then it should work. The problem with some of the older Ray stuff is proprietary formats like SeaTalk that requires special data converters to get needed 0183 data.
