Garmin's protocol, I believe, still uses ASCII characters, which WILL
display fine under the simple terminal program.....but not in NMEA

Nope. It does *not* use ASCII characters. Besides that: it is a handshaking
protocol, which means it is bi-directional, NMEA is not. Furthermo it
works at 9600bps, whilst NMEA works at 4800bps. So you will never get any
readable results using Hyperterminal with NMEA settings.


The Garmin in question was set to NMEA in and out in its setup

OK, then it must be a defective unit you have been using.


The test set works great on Seatalk, too!
