If you inadvertently put a 4-pin plug into a 6-pin hole, you will bend
the outside pins in the 6-pin hole and it wont send NMEA to your
computer. Guess how I know this to be true?

I have a problem with my GPSNAV (model 20 I believe, with the external
antenna). The GPSNAV output to the screen works fine, directs me to the
waypoints etc. This shows that the GPS engine is working.

However, the output to the PDA via the serial port, and the Datacom output
to the L-Nav seems to be doing nothing. The cables are definitely OK.

I am unable to find a .cai trace on the logger after a flight, output to
the PDA is hugely intermittant- it works for a few seconds at most over a
whole flight. The L-Nav reads GPS (Wait).

Has anyone else experienced similar problems? Dickie Feakes, the UK dealer
seems to think it could be in the contact pins, but it seems odd as it is
experiencing issues with NMEA output on 2 different connector types.

The logger was overhauled with all internal parts (except the power board)
replaced roughly 3 years ago.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

From my experience with GPS-NAV, I would check the following -
1. Make sure ActiveSync on your PDA is turned off, or disabled
[prevent automatic communication through serial port whenever the
device is connected],
2. Unplug and re-connect the data cable on the GPS to verify good
contact.
