Haven't done it personally, but the cable diagrams for the 91AD can be found here: http://cobalt.n5zpr.com/Media/icom_cables.pdf If you can send NMEA sentences from your software to the radio at the 4800 baud standard, it should work, nothing magic here. You may have to try pins 2 and 3 swapped on the computer port. You might also check the information at the D-RATS site, as many folks seem to be doing similar computer generated GPS strings there - http://www.d-rats.com/wiki/ John - K7VE
