Note 1: The standard NMEA output rate is 1x/second. When Output INSTR is set to
J300X-1 (default), the output port, TX1, will have an output rate of 5x/sec.
for HDG or HDT (heading) messages. The RSA (rudder angle) message is
always 5x/sec.
Note 2: NMEA OUTPUT 2 on J300X has a constant output rate of 10x/sec. for HDG
or HDT. Both port 1 and 2 are still sending HDM at 1 Hz. HDM is an
obsolete sentence but some older equipment may still use it.
