I have an Icom 400BB VHF that gets position data from my Raymarine system. Specifically I have a SeaTalkNG to NEMA0183 converter wired to the VHF. Most of the time, It works great.
However, If I start the engines (probably have a low voltage in the system somewhere), the VHF will partially or completely lose the position data. I have to completely power down all the electronics for several minutes in order to get the position data back. Sometimes it comes back, others, it doesnt. Wiring has been verified. Its almost like the two lose "sync".
Sometimes I get No Position/No Time.
Other times I get alternating ?? then good data about 1 second apart...
Thinking maybe try another converter?
