Hey there folks.
I'm trying to wire my VHF to my chart plotter so that my radio can get GPS data for a DSC distress call and sending my location to friends thru DSC. Also would like to have any DSC positions reported to me on the vhf show up on my chart plotter as an icon. It has the capability if wired correctly but the wiring diagrams don't seem to be talking the same language. The radio has positive and negatives identified but the plotter only has inputs or outputs. See attached wiring diagrams for the radio and chart plotter. Also there is a bare ground(shield) wire on both cables. Not sure if i run both of those to the neg bus bar or connect them or forget about them. Any help on which wires go were would be appreciated.
