Matt, thanks for the great support , you guys updated my 796 at the show. Does the gdl need a update ?
Select "NMEA Out" for the #1 serial port format and "Garmin Data Transfer" for the #2 serial port format. Don't forget to update your aera 796 software first.

Matt, I thought someone in the Garmin tent told me that the GDL had to use serial port 1 ?

How do you change which weather you are using on the 796?
Hello David,
Reference Appendix D in the aera 795/796 Pilot's Guide and pages 3-5 & 3-6 in the GDL 39 User's Guide. For this type of application you can connect the two units as follows:
- TX1 wire (blue) on aera 796 to GDL 39 RxA wire (white/green)
- RX1 wire (yellow) on aera 796 to GDL 39 TxA wire (green)
- TX2 wire (orange) on aera 796 to third-party NMEA device
- RX2 wire (purple) on aera 796 - no connection
Select "Garmin Data Transfer" for the #1 serial port format and "NMEA Out" for the #2 serial port format. Don't forget to update your aera 796 software first.

Have the software updates changed this, or is it still essential to put the GDL 39 on Aera 795 serial port 1 and use port 2 for A/P?
I am headed to the hangar tomorrow to hard wire the GDL 39 3D to the 795 with bare wire cable, and cannot recall if I already have the autopilot connected to TX1 or TX2. Easy enough to move it over, but don't want to if I don't have to.
Thanks!
