Hi Whucky,

Just done a bit of digging into the NMEA output on the NASA clipper wind. It looks like they introduced NMEA output on post January 2003 models.

Mine looks identical to the current models but doesn't have the output nor does it mention it in the manual.

Interestingly the "current" manual link on the nasa page doesn't mention it either. Perhaps its just an old manual?

Does anyone know if the repeater port uses an NMEA output or is it just a pass-thru connection from the masthead sensor?

The last page of the manual refers to the "remote repeater facility" but doesn't mention what the signal protocol is.

Hope you are getting everything to work!

Regards,
Iain
