I looking for help on making the connections between my new ICOM VHF and my MFD and wondering how everyone else is doing it and the right way to do it. The ICOM VHF has a NEMA in and a NEMA out connection with a white and a red wire for each. It appears that the shielding is the negative and the twisted core is the positive for each of the white and red wires. Am I supposed to just twist the shielding of the wire and crimp it to a wire leading to the negative MFD NEMA connections? It would seem that there would be some connector to do this - and they wonder why so many people don't have their VHF's hoofed up to some GPS signal.
Background: new ICOM VHF, Raymarine e7 Chartplotter (MFD) a year old, and a Raymarine AIS a year old. BTW; I asked Raymarine and they prefer that the VHF is hooked up to the MFD in lieu of the AIS directly with the NEMA conections.
thanks in advance!
