The GDL 90 data interface specification document is fairly specific to Garmin boxes, so there is some interpretation to be done when applying the spec to other hardware.

Currently, stratux sends an Initialization message every second. It seems to me that stratux plays the roll of the Garmin GDL 90 itself. In that case, according to Table 2 on page 9 of the specification, it should consume not produce Initialization messages.

Section 3.2 says "The Init message is sent by the Display once per second, and is described in Table 4." Statux does not seem to fill the role of a "display"; furthermore, the flags in the initialization message do not seem like items one can reasonably expect stratux to set.

I very well could be missing something, but it seems to me that stratux should not be sending Initialization messages.
