Well, that was a different, earlier, question.  They have a ton of
problems.  But since their NMEA is totally undocumented it is pretty
hard to pin that down.

I never said that.  You have said that.  How would you know that?

All I said is that their NMEA is weird, unlike anyone else's NMEA.  So
far it does not look to conform to any NMEA version.

They have specified NOTHING about their NMEA.  The NMEA version is just
the smallest starting point.

I do not have a sample, and without doc I'm just guressing by the strange
NMEA sample you sent.

Without doc I can't really say what they are doing correctly or incorrectly.
