Thanks guys,
It is up and running now.
I dont know if I had not addressed it properly re. COM port or speed
or if the battery needed time to charge or the right button had to be clicked,
but after messing with it for some time it came good.
thanks,
Neville Michie

Suppose your 17 HVS having flat backup battery, once power up, by

You need to run the setup with:

Reconfigure the 17 to NMEA mode

A stab in the dark. I don't have one of these.

The doc I find says that these are supplied with a rechargable lithium cell which enables back up of GPS data . It is supposed to last 10yrs, so if yours is reaching retirement age it may have gone awol and dropped the
serial parameters to a state which your monitor is not set too.
So you could try all the baud rates listed in the specs. Use a terminal emulator instead of the monitor program, which appears to be a graphic app,
to see if you getting any data output .

default appears to be 9600,8 bit,no parity

  Serial Interfaces
a.. Port 1: True RS-232 output, asynchronous serial input compatible with
RS-232 or TTL voltage levels, RS-232 polarity
b.. Port 2: Asynchronous serial input only, compatible with RS-232 or TTL
voltage levels, RS-232 polarity
  c.. Baud Rates
  d.. 300/600/1200/2400/4800/9600/19200
  e..
Serial Formats
a.. Port 1: Selectable between NMEA 0183 v2.00, NMEA 0183 v3.00, and GarminĀ® binary formats; NMEA 0183 v2.0 (ASCII); Approved output sentences: GPALM, GPGGA, GPGLL, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPRMC, GPVTG; Proprietary sentences:

Hello all,
I have a Garmin GPS17 HVS which is a GPS receiver/antenna in one unit. When I first bought it I used it to discipline an HP10811 OCXO. One day
it stopped
responding to its monitor program.
I got a TBOLT which has kept me busy and now I want to compare it to the
Garmin.

Although I used to be able to run the monitor program and it does not
respond any more,
if you put it under the sky and power it up, after a while you get a PPS
out of it that is
in phase with the GPS.

So there is somebody home but they have turned out the lights.

The Garmin manuals mention failure to respond if you do the wrong thing,
Can anyone help me get it going again?

Cheers,
Neville Michie
