Part of the NMEA 0183 standard requires that the equipment you are
interfaced to—the “listener”—know what type of device is transmitting
the data. The talker ID tells the listener that it is receiving information
from a navigation source (the 941X) and not a communications or sensor
device, which transmit completely different—and therefore unusable—
forms of data.
The “talker ID” enables you to configure the 941X’s output data to tell the
listener it is receiving data from a loran (
LC
) or GPS (
GP
) navigator, or
Integrated Instrumentation (
II
). The choice you make depends on what
