SH VHF AIS to NavNet3D MFD12

[saltwaterbluefish]

My VHF radio went down, so I picked up a remanufactured Standard Horizon Gx6000 with AIS and DSC. I have the SCU-31 GPS antenna so the VHF radio has gps, and my MFD12 have it's own separate GPS. I am trying to figure out how to wire the VHF nema0813 cables to the 18 pin nema0813 cable that goes out of the back of my NavNet3D MFD12, so information shows up on my screen

Port 2 is in use, so is it possible to just use Port 3 to accomplish this?

Yes, Port 3 can be used.

Is there a way to connect the NEMA DSC output from the VHF to the mfd, if port 3 and 2 are already in use? For example, a nema0813 to a ethernet connection?

No. One would connect to the NMEA on a different MFD or add a 0183 to 2000 converter to the bus like the Furuno IF-NMEA2k2. Ideally when talking AIS and the NN3D, you would move something off the existing 0183 ports to bring your AIS input because the NN3D doesn't support AIS by 2000.
