[aprssig] Nuvi 350 still on sale thru the end of Aug 09 WEB Only

[Scott Miller]

There's one GTRANS board, with two different cable options.  The -KW 
has a 2.5mm stereo plug (wired opposite what you want for the ICOM) and 
the -9F has a female DE9.

But yes, it's NMEA compatible, 4800 baud, true RS-232 levels.
