RS-232 and RS-485 are the signals. Levels 0v5v are used in 232. br>I'm not sure if they have a config utility for Linux, but once you've got it set up to output what you want (NMEA, etc. ), anything that can do serial port communications can receive data from this device (the connector is DIN 6, not DB9!). ), you'll almost certainly need to modify it for the serial device in question.
I haven't tried it with Windows 10, but I have tried it with other Windows versions. If you get the USB cable set and plug it into the computer, it should work.

This works great with the Uniden SDS 100; all you need is the cable from Uniden, which saves you $25 over buying the Uniden GPS kit. There is no need to set anything up; simply connect the cable to the radio, and it will detect it and work.
This is the unit that Uniden rebrands as part of its GPS kit, and it's 100% interchangeable with the Uniden GPS puck, including the 6-inch GPS puck. DIN connector with pins It has good sensitivity and can pick up a usable signal in my basement with ease. It sends out 4800baud NMEA RS-232 data, which is industry standard. Data in serial format (232). When it's looking for satellites, the LED stays on and blinks once it's found one. br>br>Here's the wiring diagram in case you need to install your own connector: Green = RS232 GPS Data Outbr>White = RS232 Data In (only used to configure the GPS, not needed for most applications)br>Black/Shield = Groundbr>Red = 5V (requires about 50mA)br>Green = 5V (requires about 50mA)br>Red = 5V (requires about 50mA)br>Red = 5V (requires about 50mA).
GlobalSat BR-100 was purchased by me. To provide GPS input to a Uniden UM385 VHF Marine Transceiver, use a 355S4 (the one with the PS/2 connector, not the one with the USB plug). It worked perfectly and only required connecting three wires, though a separate 5VDC power source was required. The radio displays "GPS Data OK" on the screen, as well as the pinout information for both modules, as shown in the attached image. br>Connect the GlobalSat Pin5 TX to the Uniden Yellow radio: NMEA_IN+. br>Connect GND to GlobalSat Pin 1 on Uniden Green: NMEA_IN- as well as a 5V ground Attach the GlobalSat Pin2 VCC to a 5V power sourcebr>br>I used a 12V cigarette plug USB charger for my 5V power source. The center two conductors have a voltage of 5V. (You can look up the USB pinout on the internet. ) ) Take a look in your junk drawer; There's a good chance you have something with a USB port. Simply plug it into the cigarette charger, cut the other end off, and use a volt meter to locate the two wires with 5V on them. br>br>More information on the GPS unit can be found on GlobalSat's website, but you can probably get by with just looking at the picture. You can do this if you know how to read basic pinout diagrams and solder wires. br>br>I was blown away by how quickly everything came together. The radio now shows latitude, longitude, course, and speed in knots with a single button press. It's quite good.
700A. This was purchased so that I could connect directly to my Kenwood TM- VHF/UHF mobile radio with 700 watts of power. The radio has built-in APRS and needs a GPS to work properly when it's on the move; I tried several different GPS receivers, but none of them worked. The TM- A serial GPS device is required for the 700A, and this GPS worked perfectly! I built a connector box to convert 6 PIN DIN to RS-232. I can use a DC-to-232 DB9 converter to plug in 5V DC using a DC-to-232 DB9 converter. Converter from DC to 5V. The GPS came up quickly after being plugged in and set to 4800 baud on the radio.
RMC msg output is relatively costly and erratic. Update: Overall, 3 stars due to erratic output and cost; the puck and cabling do not justify a 3x price premium over the bare clone modules, especially given the erratic output noted below. br>br>I got a cold start fix in less than 2 minutes, but it requires level conversion because the output is not ttl, but rs232, which is inverted, and the voltage on mine is - 5v to +7. 7v. br>br>I added the converter but couldn't get it to work. Although there are twelve SV in sight, the RMC status is V (nav rcvr warning). After a period of inactivity, I am recharging my batteries. The device is locked after 12 hours, the RMC status V is cleared, and the location is reported. br>br>Note that GPRMC messages are sent in a fairly regular staccato pattern, which makes using the GPS as a clock with a seconds indicator a little difficult. The pattern is roughly 1100ms, 300ms, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, 800, This isn't a polling issue, and it has nothing to do with the $10 GPS modules.
It is necessary to build or purchase an interface cable, but this is a simple process. This unit will connect to at least ten satellites inside my house. It is simple to use. If I ever needed another unit like this, I would recommend it and buy it again.
I put the BR- in front of the BR- in front of the BR My marine VHF DSC radio (Uniden Solara DSC) is equipped with a 355S4 for GPS input.

It was a public service announcement. For me, play the installation. When this receiver is placed near a car window, it appears that GPS reception is fine.
