[aprssig] Kenwood D7 not working with Garmin 76C

How old is your D7? You may need to update the firmware.

Subject: [aprssig] Kenwood D7 not working with Garmin 76C

Is anyone using a Kenwood D7 with a Garmin GPSMAP 76C? (or maybe its sister
60CS)?

My older GPS III+ drove the D7 fine, but my new 76C will not cause the D7 to
send a signal. I checked the 76C output on a terminal program and it looks
fine. Garmin tech  says the signal level/voltages are the same in both
units, although the 76C users a newer NMEA spec.

Is it possible that the Kenwood D7 will not work with the latest NMEA specs?

(Also, When checking it with the older III+, I  notice the D7 will continue
to send out the last posit data it has received from the GPS, without the
warning that it's an old posit, even after the GPS is turned off. That seems
like a D7 programming glitch, if true.)
