NMEA weirdness on ICOM M323
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2019 4:05 am
I have my ICOM IC-M323 radio wired to a USB serial adaptor driven by the Chrome NMEA SImulator, and I'm monitoring the serial port.
The ICOM M323 is set to output GPS data received on its input to its output.
I can see the DSC and GPS data coming out of the M-323.
If I stop the simulator the GPS output from the radio stops.
If I start the simulator the GPS output from the radio starts.
So the radio is definitely receiving GPS data in real time on its input.
But the radio display says NO POSITION NO TIME.
Is this a faulty radio?
