Yes, unavoidable with NMEA.

OK.

Not much I can say without data captures.

And remember, the scoat example is pusedo-NMEA, not NMEA, so it will not
match your NMEA exactly.

No good, I need 'gpspipe -R" to see, I need the raw data, not the psuedo
NMEA after being processed a 2nd time as speudo NMEA.

Also helpful would be a descriont of the real GPS model and how it is
configured.
