I think you can connect your eTrex to your VHF radio. You'll have to make an
input cable to the VHF. The radio end will be bare wire or whatever
connection is required at the radio; the eTrex end will be a USB port.
Connect your existing GPS cable to the USB port on the new cable and connect
the new cable to the VHF. You'll have to know which wires to connect: if
it's not in the eTrex manual, Garmin tech support can help.
I connected my GPS 12 this way (RS232 then, not USB) I needed Garmin's help
to be sure I connected the right wires.

I have a Garmin ETrex Legend that I want to hook up to my new Cobra

but it won't plug into the VHF. Is this something Garmin will have to
supply (if there is such a thing)?
Thanks in advance

Um..if you are talking about using DSC, why would you connect the GPS
to the computer? It should connect directly to the radio via the NEMA
i/o cable.

Unless I'm missing something.

Which I probably am.

Sorry, I was just saying thats the only cable that came with the Garmin
