Isn't UDP is a networking protocol?
Just a guess, but your VHF is most likely NMEA0183 and the autopilot NMEA2000. They connect to SignalK through a serial bus or Can bus, so UDP isn't really something that would apply here, as it's for ethernet or wifi connections. The SignalK-to-NMEA2000 plugin handles the back and forth through to the NMEA2000 network. And the serial ports are set up in SignalK connections. The NMEA0183-to-NMEA0183 and SignalK-to-NMEA0183 plugins are also useful here.
You previously made your VHF received data from signalk for the GPS. The turn around for that is to receive data on the same port and route it in nmea0183-to-nmea0183 plug in just the same.
