Two pins are provided since there Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:20:20 GMT Clint KK7UQ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NAVIGATOR-Interface/message/2065 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NAVIGATOR-Interface/message/2065 Hi Larry Yes, I did "mis-speak" - pin 11 and 24 are the DGND signals. Thanks for catching this.

I presume that you misspoke in your note, and you are referring to pin 24, not pin 23. 73, Larry Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:09:53 GMT Larry KA5T http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NAVIGATOR-Interface/message/2062 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NAVIGATOR-Interface/message/2062 Thanks for the info Clint. One other question: On the DB25, is pin 11 DGND, and pin 24 DGND, the same connection? May they be used interchangeably?

I will send you the current manufacturing drawings for the 706 MkIIG direct to your email. I suggest Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:06:36 GMT ka5tlarry http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NAVIGATOR-Interface/message/2060 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NAVIGATOR-Interface/message/2060 I am converting a home brew cable, that the previous owner said was used on an Omni VI+, to be used with an IC-706MKIIG, via the 6 pin minidin connector.

Only one of them can be active at any one time.
