Garmin 696 setup with Digitrak

My trutrak digitrak will not pick up the flight plan, and tends to continually make a shallow left turn. Trutrak said to change the baud rate to 4800. I can only find on the 696 that 9600 baud rate is only available.

Looking for someone who has a 696 wired into the digitrak. What settings are you using?

I may have some other problem, but wanted to make sure the settings are right before I start more troubleshooting.

Use the NMEA In/NMEA Out setting, that will set the baud rate to 4800.

If you set the output on the 696 to just NMEA, you should be able to get 4800 baud. If you have it set to NMEA & VHF OUT, TIS or AVIATION IN, it will lock it at 9600.

Still not working.

Ok. I set it to nmea out with boad rate set to 4800. It does ok holding heading but :

1. There is about 1" of stick slop before you feel resistance from the servo on the ground

2. GPS heading never displays...only get goal posts.

3. F never comes up on flight plan.

4. Does not say Off like its not getting GPS data. When it was set to aviation in at 9600 i got the off.

Not sure what to do next. Thanks for input thus far.

Did you change the baud rate setting on the autopilot?

Did not change autopilot settings.

No I didn't. I will try that today. Thanks for the help again.
