I have a Solara DSC VHF radio and a Lowrance Elite 5 GPS chartplotter. I want to connect this two components to have my GPS position sent to Coast Guard in an emergency situation. I have programmed my MMSI number into the radio, and I have the NDC-4 NMEA adaptor cable from Lowrance. It has three wires, Yellow > NMEA transmit, Orange > NMEA recieve, and Black > ground. Now, my solara has three potential wires from the ACC cable Green > GPS data in, Brown > GPS ground, and Yellow > NC. I have no idea what NC means, nor does it explain it in the manaul.
My plans are to connect both grounds together Black > Brown, then Yellow (NMEA Transmit) > Green (GPS data in), and Orange(NMEA recieve) to the Yellow NC.
Can anyone please provide guidance, or tell if the GPS data In goes to what and how this radio functions with GPSes. Thanks,
