The V7 is on my spring wish list. Do you have cables appropriate for connections to Mio 400 running LK8000 and EW Micro Recorder flight logger?

Lane,

I think the Mio is more trouble that it is worth as far a GPS connection.

I would recommend the Oudie Lite that will run the LK8000 Software.

I have direct cables from the V7 to the Oudie, this cable may work or let the smoke out of the Mio.

No problem with the EW Micro the V7 will provide 12V, RX, TX, GND and I can make a cable.

Thanks

I love my mio and have my students using it. $50 setup that seems to work fine. I'll try to download the diagrams and see if pinout is same as oudie.

Lane,

I have a V7 and I am extremely happy with it. I ran it connected to a MIO400 this summer and it worked flawlessly. I can't remember exactly what was my cable configuration but it was pretty easy with the pin out provided in the V7 Manual. I switched to a V2 PNA this fall and the cable that was provided with the V7 (normally designed to work with the Oudie) worked like a charm, plug and play.
