Hi You obviously will need +12, -12 and +5 supplies at the proper current levels. Any GPS antenna that will run on 5 volts will work for checkout. There are good pictures on the web showing what power goes to which pins. Current levels are < 10 ma on -12, ~ 300 ma on +5 and a bit under 1A at turn on on +12.
Once it's all wired and seems ok - sImple check out: 1) Download Lady Heather and get it installed. 2) Grab a serial cable and use an ohm meter to check that pins 2 and 3 are wired right. 3) Fire it all up and the software will tell you what's going on. There's about a 90% chance it will fire up and run fine. If not, get it replaced. Bob On Jul 6, 2011, at 7:14 PM, Keith E.
