*1: 4800 baud *2: 38400 baud
Note
: Some GPS chart plotters have a single wire for NMEA signal ground. In such a case connect
the NMEA input (−) to the GPS chart plotter’s single NMEA signal ground wire, and leave the NMEA
output (−) open. In case the assignment of power supply and ground of a GPS chart plotter to be
used is different from that of the radio, connect the signal ground wire of the GPS chart plotter to
the ground terminal (GND) on the rear panel of the radio.

*1: The GPS chart plotter ComPort must be setup to 38400 baud (HS) to send GPS coordinates to
the
GX6000
(Blue and Green wires) and to receive DSC and AIS sentences from the
GX6000
(Gray and Brown wires).
*2: The
GX6000
always outputs NMEA 0183-HS VDM sentence at 38400.
Note
