Have you looked at the serial connector with an oscilloscope? Pin 2 should be the output data. Pin 3 is for data going into the GPS. And pin 7 is ground. I use Z3801A systems which have a 25-pin connector. Other systems use a 9-pin serial connector. The only difference should be the ground which is on pin 5 for the 9-pin connector. Have you looked at:

Hi All,
I hooked everything up and I still get nothing. I can't seem to establish communications with the Z3805. I tried a null modem as well, in case the cable (supplied) was wired with the wrong connector gender. I see a green blinking light inside, it he left rear corner of the box. Everything is warm, but nothing else. Any ideas?

Bob

Hi Ulrich,
Thank you for your response. I hope to try it today if I can get away from household duties. Will I need to leave the computer hooked up, or will it run stand alone once I set it up?

Thanks,
Bob

Bob,

everything you need for the Z3805 is included in my Z38XX utility, that has already been mentioned. This includes sending commands to the receiver, you do not need another terminal program. I own a Z3805 myself and basically I
have written the software for myself. A Z3801 manual in conjunction with
Z38XX should take you pretty far in either get it to run or otherwise
diagnose a fault.

Best regards
Ulrich Bangert

Hi,
I just purchased a Z3805A at the Dayton hamfest this past
weekend.  How do I
get it to work?  Do I need software to run this, or can it
run stand alone.
I have turned it on, but only the power light comes on, the
GPS lock, and
more importantly, the enable light is not on.  There is an
10MHz output, but
the holdover light is not on.  Is there any freeware available?  Any
recommendations?

Any opinions on this one:

Thank you in advance.
