Hi Jason,
To continue on the same subject. The Pi when shut down and restarted needs to go back to the GPS tool and select the 02 port because 00 is always there on startup?
Then I need to go.?
/home/pi/bin/conky/grid
cat/run/user/$UID/gridinfo.txt?
To get grid square on conky
Any suggestions on how to simplify this?
Thanks for your fantastic work!

Problem solved,
I have to be careful that the 705 has a GPS signal before I turn the Pi on. ?Then the first time I had no grid square showing and went to a old post and found your command for checking and showing gridsquare, copy and paste, and problems solved.?
Looking forward to trying it on a POTA activation real soon.?
Thanks,

Another way to tackle this is to restart gpsd. Often I fire up my pi even before I have it connected to the radio. Once the 705 is connected and the GPS has a lock, run:
sudo systemctl restart gpsd?
I plan on adding a shortcut for this in the GPS update tool at some point in the future.
