This allows the unit to work with VHF marine radios equipped with the
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) distress call feature.

To send NMEA 0183 data, the Cuda 250 has one NMEA 0183 version
2.0 communication port. The com port can be used to send NMEA
formatted data such as your current position.

The provided Cuda 250 data cable plugs into the accessory socket on the
right side of the back of your unit's case. The data cable ends in two wires
that connect to your VHF radio or other NMEA device. The Cuda 250 uses
the yellow wire to transmit and the black shield wire for signal ground.

NOTE:

Some VHF radios, such as the popular Uniden

 brand, have input

levels which require use of an additional diode and resistor built into
the Cuda 250 data cable. This is 

Wiring Diagram

 

A

, which is

described on page 2. The majority of the DSC radios will work with the
resistor and diode as provided by Eagle.

A few other radio brands (and other electronic devices) that meet the
NMEA 0183 standard won't need these adapters 

and you will have to

remove the resistor and diode to make those work. 

This is

B

, which is described on page 4.

Consult your other device's owner’s manual, then read through 

all

 of

the following instructions before you begin. Use the installation
diagram most suited to your brand of radio or other device. If your
device manual indicates an RS-232 connection (i.e., a computer),
remove the resistor and diode and connect using Wiring Diagram B.
Most other connection types (TTL; NMEA + and NMEA –;
differential) will require Wiring Diagram A.

Recommended Tools and supplies

Recommended tools for this job include: wire pliers or wire stripper and a
wire cutter. Required supplies for this job include: two gray (18 gauge) or
blue (16 gauge) wire nuts and electrical tape. Supplies are not included.
