You don't need it. V2.0 devices will read V1.5 data statements. Just
connect the data out of your Garmin 128 to the data in on the radio.
It only needs to be a listener for it to work.

Try it....

I appreciate the repsonse, and that was my original thinking. But the
ICOM VHF does not appear to receive the v1.5 format. When it's
connected, I can't get the "gps" signal to appear, nor any position
data on the vhf...
