Beacon Interface Setup
Setup - Interface - Serial Data Format - "RTCM in/ NMEA out" (Note: if you want to
connect the GPS to a computer you will have to change this to “GARMIN” but don’t
forget to change it back when using the dGPS.)
- Baud - "4800"
- Frequency - "306.0" (Acushnet) ---- enter your closest beacon
- frequency here
- Bit Rate - "200" (for Acushnet 's) ----- enter the value that your beacon is set
at
- Status - should say "receiving"; otherwise "no signal"; "check wiring" means the
battery is dead or not hooked up correctly
- SNR - signal to noise ratio - the higher the #, the better; choose the closest
beacon that has the highest SNR
FUSES: if the unit shuts down for no apparent reason, check the fuses on the cigarette
lighter connectors. Replace blown fuses with 3A/250v fuses from radio shack.
