<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>Could someone sort out a technical detail for me. I am
attaching a GPS35-HV to a Kenwood D700A. The GPS35 has a cigar lighter power
connector and a DB9 RS232 connector as standard equipment.

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>The diagram in the D700A Specialized Communications
Instruction Manual has a diagram on page 10 which shows the 3 conductor plug
with pigtail to GPS wiring. I want to make up a DB9 connector on the end of
the plug's pigtail. The diagram says the white lead goes to the GPS DATA IN, the
red lead goes to the GPS DATA OUT and the shield goes to GPS GND. I
understand that the three pins on the DB9 I need to connect
to are 2, 3 and 5. Shield goes to 5. Which pigtail lead goes
to 2 and which goes to 3. Pin 2 is normally called RXD and pin 3 is
normally called TXD. I am always confused by this. Just tell me red => 2,
white => 3 or whatever. I am not smart enough to go beyond
that.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>On another note:</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>Is there any technical manual that is more
confusing then the D700A manuals.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>Any enlightenment will be
appreciated.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
