negative wires.
4. Wire the correct positive and negative wires from the GHS 10 cable to the
passive speaker.
5. Use at least 22 AWG wire for extended runs of wire, if needed.
NotICe: Cover the connections with a waterproof, adhesive tape, such as rubber vulcanizing tape, to prevent water from seeping into the radio.

Connecting the VHF 300 Series Radio to a Chartplotter (Optional)
You can connect the VHF 300 series radio to a chartplotter so that data such as DSC information can be displayed on the chartplotter.
Additionally, the radio can use location information from the GPS function of the chartplotter for position reports, and so forth.
You can connect the VHF 300 series radio to a NMEA 2000 network to access a NMEA 2000-compatible GPS antenna or chartplotter, or you
can wire the radio directly to a NMEA 0183-compliant chartplotter.
