While we talkin the finer points of Interlink, is there such a thing
as a splitter cable so as to feed two comm cables to one port on the
interlink?

What I want to do is: have a dedicated base mount in front and in back
for the 797, so I could drop unit onto either and it be connected to "unit 1"
on the i'link.

I would do the same with the 787. There would only ever actually be one
hooked to the port at one time, and I would not swap them around, each
one would stay with port 1 or 2 respectively.

I'm accomplishing that now except for having to dig in a storage compartment
and plug/unplug cables when I move them. Not the end of the world, but
it would be nice if you didn't have to.

Understand what you are trying to do here but we don’t have a splitter cable or anything that would work for this. You would really need something with a pair of switches in between each set of unit bases (“Unit 1” or “Unit 2” bases) so two units don’t get plugged into the same port on the InterLink (not sure what that would do). Of course if you were careful and only plugged one unit into each Unit 1/Unit 2 mount, than I guess you could do this by splicing in a pair of AS-EC10 Extension Cables to the existing connection cables… of course you would be voiding any warranty and such and so would be on your own here.

Ok, appreciate it. Guess I'll just switch cables around
like I been doing, I just need to label them before I do
end up plugging the wrong thing, wrong place.

just a suggestion U probably got better but what I do as I move my 997 between my boat & to a portable station with its own puck & all is use different colored electrical tape wrapped around each cable near its plug. Got black, orange, red, blue on all common plug ends. Good fishin
