Yes, NMEA inputs and outputs are connected.
I do not remember exactly how I wired this with the KQ-AS03 bridge to receive the navigation data and transmit the position to VHF.
I will check in a few weeks and what NMEA sentences are transmitted by the Furuno navigation center.
Surely a loop with the same GPS data by A026 and re-send by RMB, GLL
IN received: wind MWD, depth DBT, speed STW, RMB, GLL …
OUT transmitted by wired connection: GPS data for VHF
And for the antenna, I will try another when I have an SMA-BNC connector.
thanks for the answer, I think the explanation is found.
