I am having a problem getting confirmation that my AKC E-04 ELT is getting a GPS fix. I have dual Dynon 10" Sky Veiws with the SV GPS-250. I have the ELT connected as per directions. Mini din connector pin 1 is 12v from VPX, pin 2 is test wire connected to my test lead with the resistor and LED, pin 3 is ground, pin 4 is connected to serial port #1 Tx from SV (Brown with orange stripe from both SV's). SV is booted and GPS has a fix. Serial Port #1 set up on SV reads as follows;
Serial in Device; General Aviation
Serial in Function; None
In/Out baud Rate; 9600
Serial in/out device; NMEA Out (Basic)
Tx Counter; 10,060
Rx Counter; 0

LED will not blink while testing per the instructions. I disconnected the ELT mini din connector and hooked my test lead up to the Data line on pin 4 coming from SV serial port TX and the other end of the test lead to ground pin 3 and the LED blinks once per second. The default Baud rate on the ELT is 9600 and I havnt changed anything. I have double checked my wiring several times. It is weekend and I have no one to call. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
