So, the question stands, how did Clay (N7QNM) "I didn't need a 'Y' cable." in "The Nuvi is on one port and a puck style GPS (2 Deluo, one Garmin) is on the other."?
The RADIO connector goes to the radio, but to hook up TWO GPSes, they BOTH need to come out the SERIAL port, but how did Clay manage to do this without a Y connector?
