P/N 80751

This cable comes with each SPS985/SPS986 GNSS smart antenna. Use it to activate the receiver using the WinFlash utility on your computer. This cable also charges the removable battery. Using this cable, connect the receiver to a computer that has the WinFlash utility, so that you can configure the receiver and download data. A virtual serial COM port needs to be installed to use the WinFlash utility. Also, use the cable to output NMEA data to your computer.

P/N 87144

This cable is an RS-232 serial cable used to output base corrections from the SPS985/SPS986 receiver to a high-powered base station. It directly interfaces SPS985/SPS986 outputs to a high-powered transmit radio or to third-party radios. It powers the receiver from a DC power source. It is also used to output NMEA messages to legacy computer applications.

P/N 83223-00

Use this cable to power the SPS985/SPS986 receiver from a car battery. It allows use of easily accessible car batteries for longer life base station operation.

P/N 83223-01

External DC power to the SPS985/SPS986 receiver. This cable can be purchased by itself. It is good for use with many sources of DC power and the SAE Y cable 89073-00.

P/N 89073-00

Use this cable to connect one DC power source with an SAE connector to two SAE connectors instead of using two separate DC cables from a DC source to two devices.

P/N 88769-00

This cable connects between the office AC-to-DC power supply which has a coaxial connector. This cable is ideal for use in the office to test receivers before field deployment. It is also useful for a site office or vessel when AC to-DC power is available.
