Transducers with only
NMEA output (no display) are available but seem expensive. Talked recently with Alan Mulley, director at NASA
Marine Limited.

This company developed a prototype of a transducer/connection box setup but did not put it into production. The unit had
NMEA 0183 output, no display, with just a sensitivity control on the connection unit.
NASA
Marine have a low cost
wind instrument in production that follows the same principle.
Just wondering if there is any interest in such a
depth sounder. Perhaps this thread could be used for noting expressions of interest (or not). I will pass the results to Alan to determine if taking the product to market is a viable proposition.

p.s. I have no personal connection with this company.
