If the data you're trying to recieve is send like this:
 term_to_binary( {$AVRMC, 1234, 151736} )

then your case statement should look like this:

   case binary_to_term(?X) of
            {H,U,T}->
             io:format("Header = ~s~n",[H]),
             io:format("Unit ID = ~s~n",[U]),
             io:format("Time = ~s~n",[T])
    end.

(note the absence of the '<<' and '>>' operators in the match pattern)
