Reading thru the replies below, everyone else is on the right track. I assume (especially if you've talked to Ag Leader) that the 1500 needs slowed down to talk with the PF3000, especially if that 1500 was paired with an Integra. I believe last year, I had to dumb down a GPS 7000 to talk to a PF3000 too.
To do that, I believe you have to have a dual port mobile logging cable and null modem cable. I don't know that a regular dual port cable will do. The reason being is that power passes thru Port A, which powers up the receiver. No power passes thru Port B I believe, but if you have a dual port mobile logging cable, it has a Cig Power connector to let you supply power to Port B and get the receiver fired up.
You have to connect to Port B to make adjustments on Port A. Doesn't make sense, I know, perhaps someone more clever would have a good analogy for that. Once you disconnect the the cable from the receiver, it saves the settings, so when you plug it into your PF3000, it works. You can't adjust the GPS settings but it works. If you were to ever reconnect this 1500 back to an Integra or other new display, it would speed the receiver back up automatically and you would have to repeat this process to plug it back into the PF3000.
I agree with the above. The power part is correct. The GPS is powered through port A so it must be connected for that reason. The Cig power handles that. I think part of the reason that you need to use Port B to make changes to Port A is that if you made changes to Port A from Port A, you might "lock yourself out of your own car with the key inside" type of analogy. You might need to use the trunk key which is often different to gain access to the car.
In many respects this is due to Ag Leaders decision to use oft unused pins (4 & 6) for GPS power and Ground besides 2,3 and 5 for the actual GPS and setup information. Other brands that have a completely separate GPS power/ground branch won't have this problem as the GPS power/ground aspect is handled by a separate branch.
Bottom line: In order for the GPS to work for its intended purposes or to make changes to its setup, it must have power/ground from somewhere. |
