Pete,

thats good to know, thanks. Strange why there is not?

I have to obviously find an external antenna with 30 feet cabel to see real 
satellites
and test NMEA trafic.

***What about Garmin NMEA then when GPS unit is not moving actually any knots?

For example King KLN-XX models will not output a valid data link signal until a
certain groundspeed has been attained.

Wanna be sure about my connections before closing my panel.

It has been said many times but again: this forum is great. And fast!

Raimo

Hi Raimo

There is non from my 496 in simulation mode so I would assume the 296 is the
same.

All who have been there

I am just now connecting my autopilot (Trio) to GPS (Garmin 296).
Doing it in a hangar - no seenable satellites.

Question: when GPS is in a simulation mode, is there NMEA 0183 data out
then?

I have tried data out 1 /violet wire /com 1 and data out 2 /blue wire /com 2
but "No GPS" message in autopilots display. Tried also all the possible
NMEA "advanced settings".

Any ideas? Should I find an oscilloscope? Cannot go out to find real
satellites...

Thanks, Raimo
