[C320-list] Airmar CS4500 replacement for speed paddlewheel?

[Dean Vermeire]

I saw an interesting alternative about a year ago - a device that takes 
a signal from a gps and sends pulses to the st60 unit as if it were 
pulses from the speed transducer.  That was not a good option for me at 
the time, since I do not have a gps.  However, it might be a good option 
for you.
