Spent a few hours on my boat this past weekend trying to get the NMEA 0183 hookup between my new GPS unit, a Lowrance HDS Gen 3, and my older Furuno 1623 radar.
The 1623 has the NMEA out cable installed and was previously integrated to my Garmin GPSMap 182c with no issues. I've had no success trying to get it to work with the HDS, though. A Standard Horizon radio with NMEA0183 support worked without incident.
I tried both the yellow and green pair as well as the blue and white pair. Am I trying in vain? Is there a correct way (or something that needs to be configured in software on either/both ends) to get these two to communicate?
