If 'GARMIN DGPS' or 'RTCM/NMEA' format is selected,
additional fields are provided to control a GARMIN
differential beacon receiver (e.g. GBR 21) directly from your
eTrex. You can enter the beacon frequency and bit rate when
you select 'User' from the Beacon pop-up list to manually
tune the receiver (you can also 'scan' if you don't know what
the nearby station is, but the unit could continue scanning
if reception is temporarily lost).

Page. Use the UP and DOWN button and highlight
the 'SETUP' field. Press ENTER. The 'SETUP' Page

Page appears.
3. Press ENTER on the 'I/O FORMAT' field. Press the
