I bought an iCom 422 to replace my dead radio and this weekend, set about connecting it to my Raymarine C80. I'm not a complete idiot but between both manufacturers manuals, I couldn't figure out what needed connecting. Did a search on THT and found this thread that saved the day, see here. The radio now shows my position and as soon as I splash again I'll try out the position request thing. Anyone have any success with it?
Anyway, rant time
1) Why do manufacturers make it so tough to connect these devices? NMEA standards are not new.
2) Why do I again find myself splicing electronics safety gear that will be in a marine environment? Talk about inviting trouble.
