Garmin GDL-39 & Garmin 796 to HXR
Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2020 9:06 pm
I just acquired a Velocity XLRG with a single screen GRT HXR so I'm reading a lot of manuals. GRT software has been updated.
a> It also has a GDL 393D ADSB-IN receiver connected (currently) via Bluetooth to a Garmin Aera 796. Obviously I want to get the ADSB-IN information into the GRT. The GDL 39 supports 2 bluetooth connections and one hardwired "display out." think I have figured out (please confirm!) that the potential hardwired "display out" RS232 from the GDL39 itself CANNOT be connected to a serial in port on the HXR. (If correct - why?)
b> The 796 also has RS232 out. It is not currently connected to the HXR but documentation seems to say that it can be. (True?) If so, what information gets transmitted? Will the ADSB-IN information go out "through" that link in a way the GRT will understand it?
c> If a and b are "NO" - cheap suggestions?
There is also a 430W in the plane but that might be a later question...
Thanks!!!
