I have an old FA-50 which I need to connect to my Raymarine backbone and display the data on an Axiom 9 RV. I have unsuccessfully used an Actisense NGW-1 to convert the NMEA0183 data to NMEA2000 (two units as I had the first replaced) but the Actisense devices were defective (input data had an amplitude of approximately 10 Vpp and output 3 Vpp). Do anyone have an idea as to what could cause the drop in amplitude if it is not the Actisense device ?
So, I am considering buying an IF-NMEA2K2 instead. As I read the manual, I should cut the PPL wire to set the data speed correctly.
But will it work ? Before I invest in yet another converter, I would like to make sure it will work.
