Our vhf radio is not showing up on nmea. We have 2016 c242

Was trying to locate GPS coordinates on vhf radio and no info. Checked garmin for connections and it is not listed on nmea register. Was it supposed to be connected? Both devices were on. Is there any way to confirm if it is connected?

Sorry to hear about your problem. The fact that other devices is showing up on the list. Narrows things down a little, as in the backbone is getting power. But I would check the cable at the VHF and its run to the backbone.

Other things to look at: Was it working before? If so, did you change any settings within the VHF? If not and the cabling is good, I would check the settings and see. But I would look at the cabling first, its to east to do. It could have come loose.

I have to send the radio back to manufacture to reset the mmsi number. Had to re-register to the FCC Gov. mmsi number and I will check connections. Do I need to check with Garmin to see if it was ever on the system?
