Default Trig Transponder Altitude data from G3X

Does anyone know if there is any way to get serial altitude data from G3X for Trigg transponder. It uses the normal Icarus etc..

The normal link the G3X uses to talk to the Garmin xponders is dedicated and a hardcoded proprietary format. Not sure what that format is without sniffing the port and reverse engineering it.

I doubt it would work but you can ask G3Xpert to be sure.

And because the 23ES costs less than the Trig, it just doesn't make much sense to run a trig with the G3X.

The 23ES is a TSO'd unit, no different then the trig in that regard

I am using the King KT74, which is basically the TT31 trig manufactured for King. The install manual is the same as the TT31. The KT74/TT31 will not recognize the Garmin G3X output format. I tried using various settings to no avail. I ended up using the encoder output of the Dynon D6 I use as a backup instrument. This works fine, and coupled with the 403W ADS-B+ output passes all the ADS-B parameters.
I would really like to use the air data output from the G3X, but I see no way with the Garmin proprietary format.
