The SVee6 in NMEA mode as factory doesn't send sat info. Sending a TSIP packet to it can turn on additional sentences. But... how do we decide something is a SVee6/SVee8Plus so we can send the TSIP?

two things -

1. can you send the SVee6 a TSIP "sentence" to turn on extra NMEA sentences, while its in NMEA mode or does it need to be in TSIP mode first?
also, does anyone have a link to the TSIP manual - I don't seem to have this.

2. Why not not have a configuration setting [GPS menu option], that you tell the GPS what kind of GPS you have and it sends the GPS the "special" sentence to enable the extra sentences.
I presume you only have to do this once and the GPS remembers it from then on?
Or does it need to be sent each boot up?
