Howdy,
Finally bought and installed a new VHF on the boat (my first).
Question: I'm wrestling with whether or not I've wired the GPS into the radio (for distress signal connection) correctly.
I have a Lowrance LMS-350A and the best I can tell from the Lowrance/manual is that the Green & White wires on the power cord are for the NMEA interface. The White wire sends position date etc. I've taped both the Grn & Wht wires together from the Lowrance and connected them to both the Yellow & Green on the ICOM GPS Receiver lead. I did this because the instructions were a bit ambiguous to me and I tried to cover all the bases. Not sure how to test it or determine if it's hooked up right.
Anyone had experience with this stuff?
