4.2.1 Garmin GPS18PC

The GPS18PC is a GPS module receiver that interfaces via a 9-pin D-SUB RS-232C serial port.
Refer to the wiring example using an accessory cable (2.5mm 3-conductor plug) that comes with
the TM-D710A/E. Power is sourced from the 12VDC supplied from a vehicle cigarette lighter
socket. Because there is no screen, you cannot use the Waypoint function.

4.2.2 AvMap G5

The AvMap G5 comes with a Kenwood-ready cable and exclusive APRS interface built right into
the panel. You can watch APRS activity on the AvMap G5 screen without having a PC. It can be
also configured to navigate to your favorite APRS station.

4.2.3 Other GPS Receivers

The GPS receiver used must be based on NMEA 0183 format (

http://www.nmea.org

).

The following RS-232C singal levels are allowed for using the TM-D710A/E and RC-D710.
Low level: - 15 V to 0.5 V, High level: +3.0 V to +15 V. You cannot use a GPS receiver with
USB-type connector.

4.2.4 Settings for Geodetic Survey System

For APRS, always configure the WGS-84 Geodetic Survey System for your GPS receiver.
