I think you need to use toolkit to change the NGX

nmea reader is a simpler program just for looking at the data, I don't think it will change the base setting of the NGX

No experience with the NGX, I have a few NGTs

Thanks @Nick & @RocketScott, and sorry for making this like hard work!

I have tried every option I could find to permanently set the NGX in Transfer mode, before reaching out to Actisense & this forum for advice.

@Nick- Just to check we are talking about the same thing, the image below shows the section of the NMEA Reader software that I have been using (amongst others) to configure the NGX. Is this the same NMEA Reader Configuration Window you are referring to? If so, then I am 99% sure I have tried this already and, on the next power cycle, it has defaulted back to Convert mode.

I'm not at the boat today, but I will test this again when I am to be sure.

I'm not at the boat, so not connected to the N2K network.

When I am connected it populates the various fields on this screen from the NGX-1. I'll be there at the weekend, so if this is the screen you are referring to I'll use this to switch it to 'Transfer' at 115k, and then see if this configuration remains after a power cycle.
