For now, it will only read Seatalk.



For $US760 I'd want it to talk Seatalk, too....(c;

For $299 it could only read...

I can see your point :-)
The "problem" is that when I decided to implement Seatalk, I realised I
could do reading without any hardware modification. And it is also a fact
that Raymarine has less problems with it when I only receive (being one of
their suppliers). The moment I talk to the Seatalk bus, they are not the
sole talker on the bus anymore which can have legal implecations in case of
problems that cause accidents.
