Larry, Since I'm making a custom cable anyway, I think I wire the nuvi to Port B based on your comments. My setup consists of a Yaesu FT-8800, OT2m, and of course the nuvi 350. Since my OT2m will be mounted within easy reach in the front of the car, I thought I'd make it easy to connect my laptop for configuration etc.
