Has anyone attempted to connect their GPS unit to more than one
"listener", e.g. DCS radio, autopilot, laptop, radar, etc? If so, how
was it done? With hardware "expander"? Interested in any experiences.



According to the NMEA standard, every talker (GPS) should be able to drive
up to four listeners. It is perfectly safe to feed the GPS output to more
than one input. The worst thing that could happen is that at a certain
number of listeners, the signal is loaded too much. But you won't break
anything. So just try it.
