Connecting To A GTX 330 Mode S Transponder

To receive Mode S TIS traffic data from a GTX 330 transponder
on your GPSMAP 396, connect an available RS-232 OUT pin on
the transponder to the Data In pin on the GPSMAP 396. (You do
not need to connect the transponder to the GPSMAP 396's Data In
pin). Then, set the corresponding RS-232 output configuration on
the transponder to REMOTE + TIS and set the GPSMAP 396's
Serial Data Format to TIS In or TIS In/NMEA & VHF Out. For
more information, see the TIS section on
transponder installation manual.

Connecting To A Garmin VHF Comm Radio

To output frequency data to an SL40 comm or SL30 nav/comm
radio, connect the Data Out pin on the GPSMAP 396 to the RxD pin
on the comm radio. (You do not need to connect the comm radio to
the GPSMAP 396's Data In pin.) Set the GPSMAP 396's Serial Data
Format to TIS In/NMEA & VHF Out. This configuration allows
you to simultaneously receive TIS traffic data and output frequencies
to the comm radio, as well as driving other NMEA-compatible
devices. For more information, see the VHF comm section on
page 154 and your nav/comm radio's installation manual.
