[Rhodes22-list] Boat Name Letter /Handheld GPS

Sun Feb 1 10:16:54 EST 2009

Art,The Ray54 VHF has a round 8 pin connector and the Sportrak has an output
to a serial port (9 pin female).  What is the process of connecting the
wires?  I plan to check with a marine electronics shop tomorrow and will let
you know what I find out.
