Default ICOM M802 Experiences - NMEA interface stupidity

The point is ENGINEERING should have done this, not the end user.....

If it were me, it would be a Bluetooth or WiFi wireless interface
along with all the other instruments. It's time marine electronics
joined the 21st Century and dumped serial ports.....dammit.

so why not crack open the 802 brain and install an opto-isolator
inside? one could get a twinax connector with a BNC body that
oughta fit into the same hole that's there and then the NMEA-0183
link could float like it is supposed to do.
