Simple and cost effective, the Digital Yacht ZDIGUSBNMEA contains a small internal electronic circuit board which provides full bi-directional conversion of NMEA 0183 data. Includes Tx and Rx LEDs which give a visual indication of data traffic on the cable. Easily programmed for 4800 baud rate or higher speed 38400 baud rate used by AIS systems.
