Hillsboro, AL

tedbear - 12/7/2008 08:32 If we wish to install a Raven Phoenix GPS in a combine with an Insight we need a special cable with the following requirements: 1) it must increase the total length to reach 2) it must have Male 9 Pin connectors on both ends 3) it must have the null crixsscross mentioned above 4) it should provide power and ground to the Phoenix. We make up this cable which could be called a Male to Male Null modem extension with separate power & Ground. The end that goes into the Insight has 5 Pins in it using Pins 2,3,4,5 & 6. The other end is also a 9 Pin male with Pins 2,3 & 5 but with a separate WeatherPak two pole for Power & Ground to the Phoenix. The cable is not symmetrical so the first end is labelled Ag Leader and the other end GPS.

Ted,

I have wired several GPS receivers to AgLeader yield monitors and  part of your description above puzzles me.  If you are using a WeatherPak for power to the GPS, why do you need pins 4 & 6 on the AgLeader end of the cable.  They do not carry through to the GPS, so what is their function?
