Fishing & Boating Notes | Errata
Our initial release of the "Can We Talk?" article contained an error
. We incorrectly indicated that if a Talker had both NMEA Output (+) and (-)
wires, but all of the Listeners did not have a NMEA Input (-), that the
Talker's (-) wire should be attached to the battery ground.
As it turns out, this could potentially lead to a short circuit on the Talker,
although most, if not all devices on the market have circuitry to prevent this
from happening. The correct technical solution is to leave the Talker's
NMEA Output (-) wire unconnected. This issue was discussed on www.thehulltruth.com, and was pointed out to us by reader
Tom Sheehy. The article was corrected and reposted. Thanks, Tom!
