The 961 also supports the NMEA TLL sentence, sometimes referred to as
the "rattle" sentence. This sentence allows the 961 to communicate its
position to an interfaced radar device, which tracks a user-defined target.
In turn, the interfaced radar device communicates to the 961 the target's
position in lat/lon coordinates so that you can see the target symbol dis-
played right on the 961's CHART screen. To have the TLL sentence input
properly, you must set to "output" the port to which you are connecting.
Three-letter abbreviations identify each sentence and are listed alphabet-
ically. The meanings of the NMEA 0183 three-letter identifiers are
described in the table below.
