I said to my avionics guy: "Please attach my 2000c to my JPI FS 450", and he did. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer....the electrical system of my Traveler scares me, because the more I read about it on the lists, the more confused I get. Mechanical stuff I get: electrical stuff I leave alone. I do know that for power alone (ie; a data cable is required and purchased sparately to communicate with the fuel flow computer) the lighter plug works just fine in the console lighter socket. -----Original Message----- From: owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of n32romeo@aol.com Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 11:44 PM Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Handheld GPS --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: n32romeo@aol.com Since as I read the Lowrance 2000C is designed to run on 6VDC, what did you do to step the voltage down from the bus? I have been thinking of this unit also, but in my AA-1B I have my old Megellan GPS and my portable Intercom wires spliced together and plugged into the cigarette lighter. I see the Lowrance comes with a cigarette lighter with a built in step down transformer. Rich Harrison AA-1B N1632Romeo --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Dwork, Robert" I've had the 2000c for two months now, and I like it very much. I have mine hooked up through an input jack into the panel, where it draws power off the bus and communicates with the JPI 450 Fuel Flow.
