Making it all work!
a. Make sure both the Kenwood TM-D700 and AvMap
Geosat 6 APRS are turned OFF!
b. Connect the four pole 2.5mm communication
cable end to serial input of the Geosat 6 APRS and the
three pole 2.5 mm end to the D700’s GPS receptacle.
IMPORTANT! These are easily reversed and hooked
up backwards; also when connecting to the Geosat 5
make sure you plug into the serial input, not the ANT
receptacle which is right next to it and the same size!
