[Alberg30] NMEA query

[George Dinwiddie]

Sanders,

NMEA is a serial data format, so I'm sure you'll need the full depthsounder
unit.

If you're buying this unit from SailNet, please go through the link 
http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/sailnet/t.asp?id=1066 to gt to
the sailnet store.  That helps keep the web site and mailing lists
afloat.  I notice that they have the CP150 model for $400.
