I would think that for HF you'd want the shortest packet possible,
so make sure you're not sending GPRMC strings over the air.  Try for
Base-91 or Mic-E format packets instead  if the TNC's will do that.

That said, the TNC needs to receive GPRMC sentences from the GPS in
order to get course/speed, and GPGGA sentences to get the altitude.

I don't know whether that info will help you, but each little  bit
of knowledge might get you closer to a solution.
