One consideration if you're using the T2-135 embedded in an Alinco (possibly the external OT2m is the same, but I don't run one personally) is that the Nuvi 350 cable is natively wired for Port A. If you want to use it on Port B, you'll have to have a splitter in line all the time.
Even if Port A is in Garmin mode, you can still break into the command prompt via a terminal emulator immediately after power-up.
