Use a Garmin GPS with DS200?

[N4CF]

Hello. I am considering buying a DS200. I have the user manual, but that tells only how to connect the Uniden GPS unit to the DS200. I have a Garmin Drive 52 GPS with a USB port that I've used to connect to my Windows PC to update the firmware and load new maps.

QUESTION: Would i be able to connect this Garmin GPS unit to the DS200 and use it in place of the Uniden GPS?

Thanks.

This explains GPS Compatibility on the SDS scanners.

"The GPS device must have a serial (RS-232) output, and be capable of outputting standard NMEA-0183 v3.01 compliant location data, and GGA/RMC data sentences at 4800 bps."

Plus, the gps connector is phone jack connector. Believe it’s rj 11.
