Default New LX V7 Vario with Colibri II? (does NOT seem to work withColibri II even with magic spells)

The setup was simple - no trouble/tricks or other anguish:

1. On the V7, set the GPS baud rate to 11900 bps (per the Colibri II
manual)
2. On the Colibri II, set the NMEA checkboxes on GGA & RMC.

The NMEA selections are probably what was giving people fits, as it's
not listed in either manual, I suspect because each manufacturer
probably feels that those options belong in each others' setups. GGA
and RMC were shown in the original Colibri manual and my old WinPilot
setup instructions, so I tried that first, and it worked.

Cheers,

Derek
