Your radio supports NMEA0183 Version 3.01, a standard for data communication
between marine instruments. If you are connected to a chartplotter and the radio
receives another boat’s position data (sentences) in a DSC call, the radio sends the
position data to the chartplotter so you can see the location.
NMEA sentences contain different sets of data. The MHS135DSC supports the following
sentences:
