Re: MTT4BT and Garmin Montana APRS


 

Thanks for the link!? Which unit of the Montana species is this spec sheet for? All the units I have checked not only have multi-GNSS, which is a problem for the TT4-based products unless they can be deactivated. Even worse, they only have I/O's that are USB, ANT, Wifi or Audio Bluetooth, also not things that are particularly MTT4BT compatible without adding a PC to the loop.

73,

I was able to dig this up:


  • Garmin Spanner (Creates a virtual serial port for use with most NMEA 0183 compliant programs)
    • NMEA Sentences
      • Status (GSA, GSV)
        • On
        • Off
      • Wpts/Route (WPL, RTE)
        • On
        • Off
      • GRMN Propritary
        • On
        • Off
    • Autopilot Mode
      • On
      • Off
    • Waypoint IDs
      • Names
      • Numbers
    • Precision of Minutes
      • MM.MM' (2 digits)
      • MM.MMM' (3 digits)
      • MM.MMMM' (4 digits)
    • Baud
      • 4800
      • 9600
  • Garmin Serial (Garmin proprietary data transfer format)
  • NMEA In/Out (Use standard NMEA 0183 input and output)
    • NMEA Sentences
      • Status (GSA, GSV)
        • On
        • Off
      • Wpts/Route (WPL, RTE)
        • On
        • Off
      • GRMN Propritary
        • On
        • Off
    • Autopilot Mode
      • On
      • Off
    • Waypoint IDs
      • Names
      • Numbers
    • Precision of Minutes
      • MM.MM' (2 digits)
      • MM.MMM' (3 digits)
      • MM.MMMM' (4 digits)
  • Text Out (Provides simple ASCII text output of location and velocity information)
  • MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)

Based on the MTT4BT being able to take APRS audio, and convert it to NMEA serial waypoints ($GPWPL & $PGRMW), I think this is a go!
