Sorry about that. You said you already had the FMI cable. When you asked about a data cable, I just assumed that you meant for between the radio (T2-135) and a computer. As Larry mentioned, you could have ordered the cable from Scott with a DE-9 connector already installed. Perhaps you can get someone to do it for you. There are only three wires involved - ground, transmit data and receive data - and to make sure there is some strain relief. > heres a link to the youtube vid... www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXyMw_9ClQ4 It looked like a nice demo of the Nuvi in FMI mode. I didn't have time to watch it all, but I "fast forwarded" through it and saw the highlights. Just follow the link that Larry provided and the text description will indicate which colours go on which pin... "For the T2-135... use white - pin 2, yellow - pin 3, black - pin 5 on a male DB9." Are there any other hams with a steady hand in the area that could help you out with the connector? 73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!"
