[Kenwood] D700A & Garmin GPS III question

[Ken, WA2LBI]

Bill,

I checked the manual for my GPSMAP 60CS that uses the 4 pin round cable.  Here
are the color codes:

Red = 10-32VDC (depending on your unit)
Black = ground
White = serial data in
Brown - serial data out

Check the manual for your unit.  I'm sure the cable/plug information is listed.

73,

Ken, WA2LBI
