![]() The data output / input between the plotter and VHF is just fine(GPS to VHF for DCS, and AIS on the plotter) but the VHF as described earlier freezes and accepts no input regardless of the button pressed. ![]() In both the plotter and VHF I have manually set communication to accept NMEA2000 protocol. If I take the VHF out of the NMEA2000 network It can once again operate through the VHF menu etc. The Picture I am locked to is added to this mail. An NMEA 2000 network consists of a single network cable (the backbone) running the length of a boat, with drop cables branching off the main backbone to connect to individual devices (see diagram above). But when i try oporating the VHF Handset it is locked/Freezed, no action is done regardless of the button pressed. When it´s all powered op (VHF, Plotter and NMEA2000 gets power) I can through the menu of the plotter see RT850-N2K and i do receive AIS position etc. Setup from left to right: Terminator | T-Connector with dropcable to Garmin 526 plotter | T-Connector with 12vpower | T-connector with dropcable to RT850-N2K | Terminator. ![]() There is a ridiculous amount of Tee’s that can be added within backbone with some information suggesting up to 200 meters worth but for me I need about 30cm (for now). I need assisting/troubleshooting for my newly purchased VHF Navicom RT850-N2K product. This makes up the backbone itself but as the backbone requires power to operate, a power cable is required to complete a basic NMEA2000 network. The NMEA 2000 network is an open true plug and play system, installing is just a matter of plugging in.
