Setting & Tracking Station Location

Setting Fixed Station Lattitude & Longitude

Purpose: This information is used to predict Sun & Moon rise and set times, and may be

required by activities your weather information is sent to.

Click on the Setup menu. Then click on "Sun/Moon Rise/Set ...". Enter Latitude and

Longitude data. (note: there is a link on the APRS setup page to obtain your Latitude &

Longitude if you have difficulty finding it on a map.) Make sure you use a negative number

for the southern hemisphere for latitude, and if you are west of GMT (i.e west of the

UK/England), ie. You live in the USA] then have a negative number for the longitude. There

will appear either a setting sun or a rising sun. Setting Fixed Station Elevation

activities your weather information is sent to.

Click on the Setup menu. Then click on "Display Units Options / Reset times/ ...". In the

report weather together with their current location.

Click on the Setup menu and select "GPS Data capture". Click the tab for Com port settings.

Select those settings appropriate for you GPS receiver. 4800,8N1 are the normal settings

for NMEA receivers. Select / deselect DTR, RTS ( in my case both OFF ), Some units will

require them to be ON to provide power, some require they be OFF. Turn Switch On (

Green ), then click the START button.

You should see "NMEA GPS" appear ( flashing ) in the Status

Click on the "Satellites" or "NMEA GPS" tab to see the results.

Currently the receiver must provide a NMEA data stream. If your's does not, here's a link

for a translator unit
