Hi Marek,

I have a Raymarine T120 wireless wind anemometer that I'm trying to sell.
If you want wireless wind data that will talk to your Raymarine autopilot,
you'll need Raymarine's "Micro-talk wireless performance gateway" Part
number E70361 for $265 at Defender. This part will take the wireless data
and convert it to SeaTalk NG. Since its output is SeaTalkNG you can also
interface with any of the newer Raymarine MFDs or i70s series repeaters.
Email me directly if you're interested. svfreighttr...@gmail.com
