Q: What is the difference between ONWA KP-29, KP-29A, KP-29F, and KP-29X?
A: The KP-29 is the base GPS chartplotter; KP-29A includes a built-in 5W Class B+ AIS transponder; KP-29F includes an integrated 600W/1kW dual-frequency fishfinder; and KP-29X is the fully loaded combo featuring both Class B+ AIS and digital sonar in one chassis.
Q: What are the display specifications of the ONWA KP-29 series?
A: The KP-29 features a 9.0-inch diagonal widescreen Color TFT daylight-view LCD with 1024×600 pixel resolution, IPX6 waterproofing, and multi-level backlight dimming for night navigation.
Q: What charts are supported on the KP-29?
A: The unit supports K-Chart 2.0, K-Chart 3.0, C-MAP MAX, and Navionics+ SD cards, providing worldwide basemap coverage and highly detailed coastal contours.
Q: Does the KP-29A support satellite vessel tracking via exactTrax?
A: Yes. The integrated Class B+ AIS transponder supports exactTrax technology, allowing authorized fishing authorities and fleet managers to track the vessel via commercial satellites outside line-of-sight VHF range.
Q: Can the KP-29 output NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 data simultaneously?
A: Yes. The KP-29 provides standard NMEA 0183 input/output sentences ($GPGGA, $GPRMC, $GPGLL) and standard NMEA 2000 PGN messages across its rear Micro-C port.
Q: Does Seanav Marine supply the KP-29 with the external GPS antenna included?
A: Yes. The standard package from Seanav Marine includes the external high-sensitivity GNSS antenna with 10 meters of low-loss coaxial cable, trunnion bracket, sun cover, and power harness.
