Hi,
Sounds like you are not making correct connections from Garmin to VHF
radio. This is a two wire connection, Garmin NMEA out and ground.
What is needed is to have Garmin interface set to deliver NMEA out via
its' cofiguration menu. Then all that is needed is two wires from
Garmin to VHF : These two wires should be within a screened cable
between the units.

Twisted is also OK. For a short run, any cable will do.

If correctly wired the position will appear on VHF as soon as Garmin
finds its position.

Good point. If you don't have a fix or run the garmin in simulator mode, the
VHF will probably also say "no data". In simulator mode, a flag in the NMEA
sentences says it's simulated data.

thanks for all that folks, it's a great learning experience for me

Ok....question.....HAVE YOU PUT IN YOUR MMSI INTO THE ICOM 422 FOR YOUR
BOAT? I believe you'll find DSC is DISABLED until a valid MMSI is
programmed in FIRST to the unit, successfully.

Not the case with my Standard Horizon. I have done nothing with MMSI and I
was able to get position data from my JRC GPS onto the SH with no trouble.

I do have the MMSI in the radio and have checked my wiring countless times. Garmin emailed me back again and I was told to try to connect to COM1 and that should fix it ,but it didnt . The baud rate is not an option
to change on the Garmin . It will highlight but when I try to change it nothing happens. I have been waiting 2 days now for Icom to e-mail me back and tell me where to take the radio in for service. On the last e-mail the tech said if the wiring config. he gave me didn't work the M422 could be bad. I don't want to send it back to Icom if I can help it . I saw a Icom service center about 5 miles from my house I wonder if since the radio is so new if I can take it there.

He's not running a Standard Horizon. He's running a new Icom.

Larry,

While we don't have the 422 down here in Aus we do have other ICOM DSC
radios such as the 302 et al. They do not need an MMSI to be able to
digest the NMEA sentances from other gear (e.g Raymarine, Furuno etc).
My bet is the Garmin is at fault or the wiring to the radio. ICOM tends
to be pretty bullet proof!

Yes, I realize that but the way you wrote your statement sounded like you
thought it applied to all radios. I just pointed out that was not the case.

Just received an e-mail from Icom and the tech says that the Garmin GPS 182 must send the "GGA" sentence. I don't think that my 182 will send that because I don't see it in the manual. That could be my problem .

But that is easy to check with hyperterminal or MPXConfig.
On the other hand, I haven't seen a GPS yet that doesn't send GGA,GLL and
RMC all in one burst.

Page 99 of the current Garmin 182 manual on their website says it puts out the
GPGGA sentence. GP means GPS. That's what the radio wants.

Whats all that hyperterminal or MPXConfig??????????
