Greetings,
I'm trying to connect an older yellow EarthMate GPS receiver to my new 396XT
I've got the gender changer to adapt the serial cable on the GPS to the Serial to proprietary Uniden cable. With fresh batteries in the GPS I connected this to the side of the scanner, but nothing happened.
The only videos I have been able to find are for the HomePatrol and indicate it should automatically recognize the GPS being attached. I've looked through the massive manual and can not find a way to configure this to recognize that there is a GPS attached.
Questions to the Forum;
Has anyone used this type of GPS with these scanners?
Is the 396xt capable of GPS use?
(I have configured this setting - range using FreeScan)
Thoughts about how to make this work?
Thanks
