Quote: | In a phone conversation today with Larry, BMA Technican, he confirmed
that the Serial Port B sends out no data when it is selected/activated. He
tried several different units with the same result. He thinks it might be
a software problem.
This confirms my own observation. When I connected my laptop PC to the G3
Lite serial output cable there was no data stream coming from the G3,
therefore there was nothing for the TruTrak autopilot to lock on to.

You probably could have verified this by hooking a voltmeter
to the line that should have transmitted the data (ground as
appropriate). This was how I verified that I had the right wire
out of my Garmin GNS 430 before hooking it to my autopilot.
Some of us do not have laptops (or cell phones, or DSL).
