GPS and X6100


 

A quick question here...
I got a USB GPS antenna from eBay (VFan UG-353), that includes everything on the antenna portion of it. Not the dongle version.
I used it to work Winlink (with no internet of course) and Winlink got the position perfectly and adjusted my time, etc.
Sent/received email messages OK as Emergency Preparedness Practice. I connected the GPS to the laptop USB of course.
Regarding the Xiegu X6100... I see an option on R1CBU's Firmware that uses GPS. Does it means I can connect the GPS received directly to the Xiegu?
I tried and didn't work (used a USB to USB-C adapter... or is this option for me to connect the GPS received to the laptop same way I did with the Winlink?

Roberto,

R1CBU's software does support my two GPS pucks. I did a step-by-step write-up a while back describing how I was able to connect them and get the correct GPS time. It is at:

(I hope the link works)
