[C38] Radio GPS connections

[Steve Smolinske]

Bob, I feel for you! it took me two weeks to get my icom and garmin to work right, unfortunately I dont recall what I did in the end to get it right.  I do remember that in hooking up the pin connectors it is easy to get turned around since in the manual you are looking at a reverse view of what you are working with.  Also I recall that the solution was something a layman would never have figured out from the manuals.  It seems that the solution was in hooking up the connection or connections to a ground.

I have a Uniden 325 Radio and Garmin map76sc with Blue Charts. Following Uniden and Garmin instructions I am unable to gain the full benefit of the two.  I can obtain GPS to radio w/o boat power to the GPS OR I can obtain boat power to GPS but no transfer of LAT/LONG to radio for MMSI transmissions. I cant believe this to be an unusual problem. The GPS cable contains 4 wires and the lead in cable to the radio has eight.  All are defined by the manuals.  Any experts out there!
