I got the Uniden GPS and it plugged right in, no problems.
Yes but upon further review it has a male connector. maybe use a gender changer? However I am trying to keep it clean. This is why I want to rewire a new connector. Pinout diagram for the 536 would help and allow me to do that. Murphy's Law always make simple tasks so complicated. I wondered about the power connector. You may be correct. It looks like it was wired DIY for the serial connector. I might be able to just open it up and copy the wiring to a diy female? Now I am starting to think it through more. Thanks. What do you think>
The power and ground I would redo either way. Thanks RandyKuff. Either way it helped me to think it through before I jump. usually I open mouth to insert foot.
If you use a gender changer you will most likely need a null modem adapter.
As for legitimacy I sometimes think I have better luck than Amazon. But its a crap shoot either way sometimes. Right now my issue is financial. I found a puck GPS (Globalsat) shipped for $35 and a RS232 to wire up for $10. I think this will be fine until wife gets back to working. Thanks to you and the others. If noting more it helped me to think it through.I'm questioning the legitimacy if the eBay version. Seem some things come from there that ain't what they said they were. I'd cough up the extra bucks and get the Uniden version. That way if you upgrade to an SDS 200 in the future, you have something forward compatible as the cabling is different (uses a telephone type code). Or if you get another model scanner, etc.

Yes I did find it and thanks. I needed to add the rs232 for the 536. My research based on your info has been successful. My parts and GPS puck are on the way. Thanks for your work.
