Hi All, I've just bought a marine DSC radio which can send my position to anyone within range at the press of a distress button (as long as it's connected to a GPS)! The unit comes with a lead to connect to a GPS and although it has 8 pins, only two appear to be needed. The manual says that one is connected to NMEA "+" and the other to NMEA "-".

My question is as follows:

I was thinking of buying a "mouse" type receiver (a Haicom or a Rikaline) to put permanently on the outside of the boat to connect to the radio for this purpose. Most people just use their fixed GPS for this but I don't have one. I have a hand-held but it will be a pain to connect it each time. I've looked in a few online shops and the "mouse" type receivers seem to come with leads to connect to laptops or PDAs but I could do with a lead to connect to the radio. The radio socket looks like an ordinary "PC" mouse connector except it has 8 pins. The outside is identical to that of a computer mouse. The radio comes with a matching socket with bare wires lead out so as long as the GPS I buy comes with a wiring diagram I can just cut a cable and find the right wires.

Does anyone know whether this will work?

Thanks,

Avocet.
