The 1834 and 1954 radars are older and do not support NMEA 2000. The RC42 is a NMEA 2000 compass. You can't use it without building a NMEA 2000 bus and converting the data to 0183.

If you are using an APRA board (which doesn't normally come inside these models unless purchased separately), you MUST have AD10 (not 0183) heading data at 25ms or faster. I just don't see how you plan to make that work.

Because you are feeding 0183 data heading and not AD10.
