You can connect multiple items to one NMEA output. Of course there is some limit, but it depends on the load each single item poses on the bus. On my ship I have the NMEA output of the GPS linked to the autopilot, the mode-S transponder (now I can chase the airliners away from my ship), and the fuel flow computer so it can use the actual GS to calculate the remaining maximum possible distance with the present amount of fuel remaining by the current consumption.

It seems that you need to access them via a Facebook account, which does not lend itself to a links page. Can I ask whether any of you know of a way round this or any good Icing Conditions forecast service to replace the Jeppesen one?

Looks > like a good option. I have it and I'm satisfied with it. I use two float type senders, one swiveling into the main tank and the other in the reserve. I have set up the two systems as two independant tanks, and of course both are consumed equally, until the bottom of the "saddle" is reached. This gives insight when to switch from main to reserve, and also offers some redundancy during the time the tank level is above the saddle. If both tanks indicate the same level then all should be well. If one float sticks or sinks the levels disagree and invite the pilot to investigate. The fuel flow part also works perfectly.

Yours Alasdair -----Original Message----- From: David Joyce Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 11:12 AM Subject: Europa-List: French Chateau Fly Out - CONFIRMATION NEEDED The French Chateau Fly out is scheduled for 21-24 September. and has attracted a lot of interest. Earlier this year I had a series of computer disasters and not only my old computer but also the brand new replacement blew up. In checking through what I have salvaged of the replies expressing interest, I am concerned that some may have fallen down the hole in the ether that engulfed my computers! Can I ask all of you who have previously expressed an interest to confirm to me now, preferably by sending a copy of your original email.
