lowrance hd connection to vhf radio

[Line Dancin]

I have a hds5 unit and am getting a uniden oceanus radio. the uniden book clearly shows which wires are for the gps connection but the lowrance doesn't. which two wires do i use on the hds 5 to connect to the two on the radio.

Page 26 shows the connection diagram for the data wire on the HDS 5 unit. Well at least the one I downloaded from lowrance.com does.

ya i have that but it just isnt real clear as to which is the gps data out.

Don't know the color scheme but when I hooked my Lowrance LMS520c and my Standard Horizon VHS together I had to call SH for some help. One tip was to put a volt meter across the wires (ground vs nema). If there is data being sent, you'll see the voltage varying from zero to +5v. If I remember right, the ground on the Lowrance harness was a bare wire. Also, I needed to go into the GPS setup to configure it to send the data. All in all, it wasn't too hard to figure out.

Your output wire for a GPS signal from a Lowrance is the Yellow wire and the bare(sheild) wire is ground.
