Original question asked on Feb 4, 2013, 7:48am
I have a Montana 650t and would like to use it as an APRS monitor and connect it to a Kenwood TH-D72 (Portable HAM radio)in order to see my APRS position on the Montana map by feeding it the NMEA data via the special data input cable.
Are you familiar with this?
Thanks for your reply

I am familiar with using a older Garmin in this manner but am unsure if new units will work in the same way. Normally you would send a $PGRMW sentence to the unit and it will display that waypoint on the screen. (Garmin proprietary nmea sentence) I will give Garmin a call to see if that feature is still supported in new units.

Garmin techs could not verify if this will work. Which is normal when something is not documented in the manual or their other sources. Some HAM sites did mention the Montana as being compatible but I am unable to stand behind that for I have not tested that feature of the unit.

It does work in the older units like the Oregon series.
