Autohelm 6000 interface

If you really do mean an "Autohelm 6000" (black box, circa 1992 vintage) then you are out of luck.

If on the other hand you mean an ST6000, you can probably use the build in NMEA output on the 100/300 course computer.

I''m not sure quite what you expect the radar to use the heading information for, but remember a fluxgate typically only provides 1 second updates so it is too slow for MARPA or good radar/chart overlay. For this you need the Raymarine "Active Heading Sensor" or a Type 150G course computer with gyro.
