Any Ideas? Thanks
Port B on the front of the DR-135 isn't bidirectional... i.e. it accepts incoming data from a GPS, but there is no connection for outgoing data. You must use port A on the back of the radio. Assuming the cable is wired correctly on the radio end (i.e. both transmit and receive data and ground are connected, and not crossed over which would make it a null modem cable) the only thing that comes to mind is that you are running the Nuvi 350 on the internal battery instead of powering it via the connector on the back of the cradle... unless you don't have the radio in "digital" mode. 73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!"
