Again, thank you for the help Andrew. Using your suggestion i found that the GPS
module signs on with some kind of header and then fails to send anymore information to
YAAC. While it will stream to a terminal, it does not do so otherwise.
It was necessary to purchase a new laptop as one of my older ones died, before installing Ubuntu i'll
give it a try with YAAC in Windows 11 and a different GPS puck and see what happens.
Thank-you again and this can be closed as the problem is somewhere other than YAAC.
