The GTRANS will also give these sentences, GPRMC, GPGLL, GPGGA. There are up
to 5 that can be sent in the IC-U82. I do not know what the IC-91AD will
accept. I usually only send RMC anyway so it is not a problem for me.
 
BTW, I use the GTRANS output to feed a laptop running APRSIS32, ExpertGPS
and other assorted software/hardware. Some software does like more sentences
if available but overall there has not been any show stoppers. This way, I
have one GPS on the dash. It relieves some of the clutter.

Hi Phil,
 
You need NMEA for the IC-91AD and that is not readily available. But...
 
I added a GTRANS to the inside of my OT2 and it works just fine. I added
pictures to the Photos section I believe. I can provide more information if
needed.
 
The GTRANS converts the Garmin Protocol to NMEA which would allow you to use
a Nuvi350 with just the IC-91AD if you wanted. 
 
BTW, if the IC-91AD uses the same data cable as the IC-U82, the Kenwood
version of the GTRANS will not work. IIRC the TIP and RING are reversed.
 
Best regards,
Fred

Hi All

I currently have my Nuvi-350 hooked up to my OT2m and it works great.

I was wondering if I could split the serial port on the FMI before it gets
to the OT2m and feed the GPS signal to my IC-91AD as well. Has anyone tried
this? Can a GPS signal be split, or am I better off running a dedicated GPS
to the DSTAR Radio?

This is about all I can find with a quick Google search: http://www.icomamer

Thanks for the help.. I'm looking forward to adding DSTAR to my APRS setup.
