Anibody can tell me the diferences betwen V3.1 and V2.0? Or better,
who have the NMEA 183 specs can send me a copy? I read somewhere that
the V 3.1 alows for more than one talker: this is true?

I am interested specifically in the RMB, RMC, BWC, XTE, DSC, DSE, to
interface autopiots and VHF/DSC radios.

Thanks

The NMEA specs are copyrighted material and can only be obtained, at a cost,
from www.nmea.org.

No. Data from more than one talker can only be combined using an NMEA
multiplexer.

In the very begin used the only available multiplexer from Noland but
succesfully alread for years the USB Miniplex from www.Shipmodu.nll which
wil be replaced one of these days for a Bluetooth Miniplex.
Have you already visit www.raymarine.com For me the brand new multiplexer is
from Shipmodul.

Bluetooth needs more range. Lionheart has a Netgear wireless 802.11g LAN
up and running, awaiting the delivery of the LAN-enabled, WEP-PROTECTED,
marine instrumentation at maximum speeds to connect to it....(c;

No, you can't have the WEP passwords.....

WEP's not very secure. You should be thinking LEAP at least.

Well, Bluetooth HAS good range, at least *we* use a Class 1 that can go up
to 100 meters. But the problem on the other end is that most PDA's and
computer dongles are class 2, reaching only 10 meters. And of course, there
is a reason for that: power. Turn on wifi on a PDA and your batteries are
dead after 2 hours. Bluetooth lasts much longer, it can go down to 1/100 of
the power consumption of a wifi interface.
