Hookup Question---Gps/Vhf at 2 stations
I am thinking of buying a Garmin 76csx Gps and an Icom M422 VHF. The
Icom will transfer NEMA data to and from the gps for position display on my or another boat's gps. Use will be on a sail boat and I'd like to be able to use the gps at both the helm and in the cabin where the vhf radio is. Question is, can I just common the NEMA IN/OUT data cables at both stations between the gps and vhf? That is, simply plug the gps into whichever location I want to use it at, by hooking the data cables together in parallel. Of course only the 1 gps would be hooked to the one vhf radio at whichever gps station. My concern is impedence or stray signals possibly from the unterminated data cable. Wold be using these data cables from Garmin. Run would only be about 10 feet between the cabin and helm station. http://shop.garmin.com/accessory.jsp...0%2D10082%2D00 |
