NMEA 2000® and NMEA 0183 connectivity
With the plug-and-play functionality of NMEA 2000, the M506 can easily
connect to a NMEA 2000 network and interconnect with other equipment. Also the
NMEA 0183 input/output can be used for external GPS/NAV interface.
Section station option
The optional COMMANDMIC, HM-195B/SW provides second station capability for

and AIS functions can be controlled from the COMMANDMIC and can be used as an
intercom between the radio and the COMMANDMIC.
