information to other devices on the vessel, such as the 
POLARISDSC
VHF radio, auto pilots, chart plotters, etc.
To setup the GPS to be used with the 
OCEANUS DSCradio, the
following items need to be considered for proper operation:
1. Baud Rate – Set the Baud rate to 4800.
2. Data Bits – Set the Data Bits to 8.
3. Parity – Set the Parity to None.
4. Stop Bits – Set the Stop Bits to 1.
5. GPRMC Command – This command is used by the 
OCEANUS
