3. *The data transfer cable has a DE-9 socket (female) connector. To connect
to the data transfer cable, you need a DE-9 plug (male) connector. (DE-9
connectors are often called DB-9 connectors.)

Troubleshooting
If you can't get the scanner to recognize the GPS receiver:
Check the cables. Make sure you have exactly one null modem (either a
cable or an adapter) somewhere in the connection: a straight-through
connection will not work.
Check the receiver's baud rate. Most compatible GPS receivers use a baud
rate of 4800 bps, but it's possible your receiver is using a non-standard baud
rate. Set the scanner's baud rate to match the GPS receiver's.
If the scanner recognizes the GPS receiver but doesn't lockout systems as you
expected:
Make sure the GPS receiver has a lock on the satellites.
Check the location configuration for the sites and channel groups in the
system.
1. For each site or channel group, go to the Set LocationInfo menu.
2. Check the range, latitude, and longitude settings to make sure they are
correct.
3. Make sure the Set GPS Enable option is set to On.
