Regards Bob Miles "speckfisher" wrote in message ... I have a new Icom M422 VHF and am trying to connect with a Garmin 182 GPS for the DSC function. I have contacted tech service both Icom and Garmin and it seems to be properly connected and all of the settings properly set. I only get a "NO POSITION" reading on my vhf when I go to ck it . I left it on for about an hour to see if it need time to initialize but still didn't work . Could it be that somehow they are incompatible with each other ? How can I check that? Also is it possible to check to see if the NMEA in/out are working on both sets? Any help would be appreciated -- speckfisher I have the config set the way the Garmin tech. told me on COMM2 .The baude rate is not an option to change. The wiring config. should be ok because both the Garmin and Icom techs e-mailed me the wiring diag. and I feel comfortable that the wiring is ok. The connections should also be ok because I cut and spliced them about 5 times and still could not get anything. I ck to see if the the gps is communicating with the vhf by pushing the "POS/DSC" button for a few seconds and it should show my position on the vhf screen but it shows "NO POS" whitch according to the Icom tech means the gps is not communicating with the vhf. I don't if the gps is receiving from the vhf to plot someone elses position on the vhf screen. I don't know anyone in the area to ck it with I have the exact same problem and have found no solution. |
