I just set this up at K6QXY's place and it worked great. Accuracy is much better than what's required for JT65. We got a GlobalSat BR-355-S4 USB GPS receiver ($30) and a $20 software package from visualgps.net for Windows. I don't know of a MacOS version, but haven't looked.
I expected to have to mount the "puck" receiver outside, but it saw many satellites and worked fine just sitting on a table indoors. 73, Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On Jun 15, 2017, at 1:51 PM, James Bennett <w6...@me.com> wrote: > > Folks, thanks for the ideas!
