Can I Push 8600 GNSS GPS Positioning Data to Winlink?

Is it possible, and how, to push the excellent GPS GNSS positioning data to a software program like Winlink which frequently uses GPS positioning for messages? I have used a GPS dongle in the past (still could do that). Winlink appears to want a com port or a TCP/IP address to retrieve GPS data.

    Point it at the radio IP address should work. I don't use Winlink but I have another application that requires GPS positioning and that one works by this method. You do of course need a reliable satellite lock on the 8600. So try it and see.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
