I originated this issue.
Remove the ICOM radio from my network and the GNX 20 displays functions. Left
it running for two days and went out for a sail.
We found some date on line that some N2K compliant radios are not fully
compatible.
Now have to come up with something so the DSC function on my ICOM works.
Thanks for all your comments

Agreed with Paul - my n2k/AIS ICOM m506 displays GPS data from the n2k Garmin
antenna reliably. In fact an alarm goes off to warn me of no gps data if I
turn off the instruments but not the gps.
Similarly, the ais data provided by the M506 displays on The Raymarine i70
display. So, it works both ways.
This worked all last season as well, so if there was an issue it predates late
2015/2016. (Radio purchased Jan 2016)
What does not work is getting the AIS data to via gateway to devices outside
the wired n2k network. Working on that.

Not sure this is still the case ... I just installed an icom 506 AIS/ N2K
radio, and it and my ray N2K MFD they recognized each other and the radio got
the gps info right away, and the AIS info was showing on the MFD once the
antenna was connected. There are no 0183 devices left on Perception.

So my partner contacted ICOM UK, who said that despite what is printed in the
manual,the Icom M506 does not support obtaining a GPS position over NMEA 2000.
The menu option to select an NMEA 2000 GPS source does nothing.
Apparently they had compatibility issues with different manufacturers' MFDs
when designing the radio, so at the last minute they pulled support for
obtaining position information via NMEA 2000. They have asked ICOM Japan for a
firmware update to fix this, but none has been forthcoming.
So caveat emptor. I would still recommend this radio, on the proviso that you
are able to provide position info via NMEA 0183. Without it you will still get
AIS on your plotter (but not the radio), but the radio will not be able to make
GPS tagged DSC calls, which is obviously concerning.
It's advertised as a fully native NMEA 2000 device, but at this time it is not.

I believe my network is set up properly. I have given Garmin a schematic of
everything on it and they have not suggested changes.
I failed to say in my original question that I have a GMI 20 display right next
(T's attached to each other) to the GNX 20 display and the GMI 20 works
flawlessly. I have switched the two drop cables between the T's. Garmin cannot
explain why the GNX 20 fails and the GMI 20 continues flawlessly.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions so far.

Is your N2K network properly terminated? Another thing to check.

John – Also check the voltage at the unit. Pin-out of the cable is available
online. N2K circuits have limits to the number of devices and the power
consumption of all devices, length of cable, etc. Double check to make sure
you’re inline. N2k also has issues if multiple power supplies exist – just in
case that accidently happened. Others can probably provide more thoughts.
