can not really do any harm getting them mixed up for

<DIV><SPAN class=481182719-09092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>On
mine I only use white and dumped the red lead, what's the point of sending data
back to the gps with no screen ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=481182719-09092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>So
that narrows it down to the white lead. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=481182719-09092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You
want to hook the white lead to the txd pin (3) on the db9</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

GPS to D700 Connection<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<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.
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<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></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>
