My original post was somehow deleted, so here is a repost. Thanks to all who replied, but the entire thread is now gone.
My Garmin 496 is driving a TT Digitrak. Output on the 496 is NEMA, set at 4800 baud. I have had a problem with the Digitrak losing its signal from the 496 when the 496 is refreshing the screen. The 496 had operating software at version 2.6, it is now updated to version 2.8. I have not yet flown with the new software version; perhaps it is improved.
I would like to utilize the automatic frequency function in my SL-30, but TruTrak told me about a year ago that the Digitrak would get confused with the data stream if it was set to NEMA & VHF Out. One response I received correctly pointed out that NEMA & VHF Out was preset at 9600 baud. I have not yet tried to reconfigure the Digitrak at 9600 baud, the instructions say to set it at 4800 baud. I?ll try that option and see what happens.
Any input regarding these two issues would be greatly appreciated.
