Out of serial ports - anything I'm overlooking?

[lgabriel]

I'd like to add a serial out for telemetry, but I'm out of obvious options.  I was hoping for a second opinion to answer the following questions:

[list bull-blackball][*]Can I steal the TX side of the port from either the SV-ADSB-470 or the SV-GPS-250?
[*]If so, I'm pretty flexible on baud rate (I know it has to match).  Just to make sure...can a single serial port on SV accept data input of one type, and output data of another type? (i.e. Serial Port 5, input from SV-GPS-250, output EMS/ADAHRS serial stream).
[/list]
Here's my serial port plan:

Serial 1 (VP-X):
    TX: VP-X
    RX: VP-X
Serial 2 (SkyView Transponder):
    TX: SV-XPNDR-262
    RX: SV-XPNDR-262
Serial 3 (SL-30):
    TX: SL-30
    RX: SL-30
Serial 4 (SkyView ADS-B):
    TX: SV-ADSB-470
    RX: SV-ADSB-470
Serial 5 (SkyView GPS):
    TX: SV-GPS-250
    RX: SV-GPS-250

Thanks for your time!

My understanding is yes, you can transmit to Device A and recieve from Device B on the same serial port, provided the baud rate is the same on both devices.

The output to the ADS-B cannot be used. It is needed to make the ADS-B box work.

Looks like your only answer is to use the SV-GPS-250 out port, so your device will need to support 38,400 baud.
