Raymarine Raystar 120 NMEA model. WAAS-GPS, 3 meters accuracy, the
whole GPS receiver is built right into the little antenna dome. You
provide it with 8-24V and it provides you with NMEA statements for
your Furuno and Standard. If you need another display for backup, any
Raymarine or other manufacturer's display unit will listen to it.
Watching the RL70CRC Plus display on Lionheart at the dock, accuracy
is about 6' from the antenna's position under the hardtop out of the
weather. Amazing receiver sensitivity.....NO COAX CABLE TO BREAK!
Connections to it is a simple multiconductor cable and you get a LOT
of that.... It also works with EGNOS in Europe and MSAS in Asia.

while it still has commercial value.

Question is.... what would you suggest as a replacement?

The Garmin 17N OEM sensor is $100 less street price at about $180. Does
the same thing. You give it 12 volts or so and it tells you where you
are with NMEA sentences.
