qcx with GPS


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

since the GPS RXD shares a pin with the Dit input, will it not work if GPS is plugged in?? it appears that the RXD could make for some interesting CW.

thanks Barry

If you read section 5.14 of the fine manual.

Thanks Alan,

Thats what I suspected,

I will have to provide a connector to disconnect during CW ops.

Yes cannot plug in gps while doing cw, or having antenna disconnected from rig unless in practice mode.

As the Ultimate 3S uses a db9 connector for GPS you might consider same.

Once the qcx frequency is calibrated with gps, it should hold it for a while under normal temperature conditions.
