Thanks.  Makes sense.

If I run gpsd and gpsmon non-direct, it says SiRF binary and shows lots of 
non-NMEA stuff.

If I stop gpsd and run gpsmon -t SiRF direct, it says Generic NMEA(SiRF 
binary).  It starts in NMEA mode.  Does gpsd switch back to NMEA when it 
exits?  The n command switches to binary.  The Generic NMEA in the header 
goes away.  Another n switches the data stream back to NMEA, but the display 
is stuck in binary mode.  The logging at the bottom is full of UNK.

If I switch to binary and exit and restart (without -t), it starts up in SiRF 
Binary mode.  n acts as above: data switches but display doesn't.

Thanks.  That's what I was looking for.
