Hi Moshe,

Yes. The S80 can receive GPS data through the PDA port. I have connected Oudie IGC units to the S80's PDA port and the S80 received GPS data from the Oudie IGC, and forwarded TE compensated vario and airspeed data from the S80 to the Oudie IGC. It worked well.

What device are you trying to connect to the S80?

Best Regards,
