Turns out the ESG can't use the Fuel/Air Data Format Z that the GTX327 does.
In the serial port setup on the GRT there is Altitude Encoder 1 or 2 as an available selection. I chose Altitude Encoder 1.
A few lines later there is Altitude Encoder Setting. Here you can chose the serial format. I chose Trimble/Garmin.
In the ESG I changed Altitude Source to Serial-trim/gar.
With these changes, the altitude readout on my ESG works!
I hope this is helpful for someone else.

Just had two guys install mine which was new to this particular system. I think you just solved my altitude problem as well. I just need to click the other choice as well.
Looks like my GPS signal not turning green is a problem with the coax too. After reading from others, looks like the wrong cable got installed. They put in RG58 and it was only 6'. Others say a minimum of 10' and RG400.
Think I'd like to go 15' or thereabouts, I guess Stein Air, Starks or most would have what I was looking for. Fixin' to check.
I appreciate this thread very much, I've had this Stratus ESG system for a year, impossible to find any near by that would install it including avionics shops, although they had a very fair rate, they never would give me a date to do it.
I finally found two locally that took pity on me and agreed to help me with this that had done installations of ads-b from the Air Force base. Although it looks like it was in the installation guide, guess we didn't realize how critical the right coax and length was.
