seatalk ng power supply
In 2011 I installed a new raymarine autopilot on an ng backbone as the only branch device. Recently I installed a Raymarine a65 unit. To supply GPS data for DSC to my Icom vhf I installed an Actisense ng to nmea converter . This was done using a 5 terminal powered ng strip. The strip was specified to be powered through the direct strip to 12v cable.This connection is the power supply for the converter. Thus I now have two separate backbones not communicating with each other. I read in the Seatalk manual that a backbone must have only one power supply. What would be the way to unify my two backbones and have only one power supply?See More
