ADSB receiver will operating only if we feed it with gps data to input port.
GPS data must be standard NMEA format. ADSB receiver will automatically detect
baudrate on input port and transmit NMEA data on output port at the same
baudrate.

normally flarm device with NMEA output or classic GPS with standard NMEA
output.
