I want to send serial data from a Garmin 296 to Pin 19 on the EMS D120. The 296 can send data as NEMA Out at 4800 or 9600 baud. Does it make any difference or is one rate preferred? Will it work at all? Could not find anything in the install manual that talks about the input other than it goes to Pin 19.

Doesn't matter - either baud rate will be autodetected. The Garmin GPSes do have a data rate setting which matters, though. See this post for details.

I intend to use the serial output from a Garmin 296 unit to send VHF frenquencies to a Garmin SL40 comm. I would also like to use the same output line connected to a D120 EMS. To get the VHF frequencies to the SL40, the com output mode has to be set as "NMEA & VHF Out". The serial stream will send both NMEA data & VHF frequencies over the same line. I contacted Garmin support to find out about the "fast" & "normal" output modes & if this confiquration would work. They did not know if the Dynon could filter out the VHF data.

The question is, will the Dynon filter out the VHF info & only read the NMEA data it needs to function?
