Hello -
I have Simrad HS-70 Sat compass and I'm wondering if I can connect it to my DRS-6A via NMEA 2000 or if I have to use NMEA 0183. Don't mind using 0183, but can't get pitch & roll unless using n2k.
Thanks,
Steve
 
It wouldn't be supported at the DRS. I would recommend you add it to your normal NMEA 2000 bus or use NMEA 0183.
 
Officially the connector at the radar is only for selected Furuno sensors (Like the GP330B or the SC30). It is Furuno Canbus and doesn't fully support all brands of NMEA 2000 devices/translations. I do not know about the LEN of the Simrad and didn't even look further because it isn't supported. It might work for some sentences but you might end up missing something else you need.
