Hello Robin Hou, You wrote: "I want to build a power cable so I can practice

I don't know what your practice will consist of, but wouldn't the free
Garmin trainer serve that purpose better? See this for (very large) down
load:

I have this trainer on my computer and it works great -- probably better
than anything that you could set up.

Subject: Avionics-List: 400W/420W/430W Power cable
I want to build a power cable so I can practice using my Garmin GNC 420W at
home. -I called Garmin and was told that I can order their $125 connecto
r kit to build my cable.
The GPS side uses a 78-pin connector that looks like a D-subminiature 78-pi
n connector. -Mouser has them for around $10. -But Garmin tech told me
that their connectors are not "computer connector" but "aviation connector"
; at $125, it sure feel like aviation grade and
price.
Would this work: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=EP%2f

Thanks in advance.

I agree, with one exception: it's the non-WAAS version, and the included
firmware is a version behind.
