Page 99 of the current Garmin 182 manual on their website says it puts out the
GPGGA sentence. GP means GPS. That's what the radio wants.

Just received an e-mail from Icom and the tech says that the Garmin
GPS 182 must send the "GGA" sentence. I don't think that my 182 will
send that because I don't see it in the manual. That could be my
problem .

But that is easy to check with hyperterminal or MPXConfig.
On the other hand, I haven't seen a GPS yet that doesn't send GGA,GLL and
RMC all in one burst.

Hyperterminal is a terminal program, present on every windows system. You
can use that program to show NMEA data that is received on a serial port on
your screen. Hyperterminal is a pain to configure, especially if you're not
up to speed with serial data communications. So therefore I suggested
MPXConfig. This is a program I wrote to configure my NMEA multiplexers and
you can also use it to show NMEA data. It does the same as Hyperterminal but
it is preconfigured to NMEA (8 databits, 1 stopbit, no parity) and you can
set the speed right on the main screen to 4800 baud instead of disconnecting
first, dive into a menu and re-connect again as in Hyperterminal.

MPXConfig is free and can be downloaded from

Even works great through my virtual serial port dll to the serial-to-
ethernet box. Thanks, Meindert.
