NMEA Bridge 

The NMEA Bridge has been designed to expand a number of NMEA ports in the system.  It 

can  be  used  as  classic  NMEA  output  for  PDA  device  to  feed  a  Mode-S  transponder  with 

NMEA.

Radio Bridge (UPDATED) 

The Radio Bridge is the same part of hardware as the NMEA Bridge.  On the main unit it can 

be configured  as  a  Radio  Bridge  which  can  communicate with  supported  radios  (for more 

information please refer to the Radio/Transponder Bridge manual).
