NMEA is normally used for navigation. It would seem unlikely that anyone would

Hi Didier,

I' building a multi frequency beacon based on QRP-labs U3 beacon kit. It has the ability to discipline its oscillator with a PPS input and, using NMEA input, set and maintain time and location for exact control of WSPR and OPERA modes of operation.

As it currently only accepts NMEA input I was wondering there was a way to get NMEA out of a thunderbolt. I've lodged an RFE with the developer to add TSIP support to the U3, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

I'd rather use the Thunderbolt as the time and PPS source since its way more accurate than the LEA-M8FGPS module that optionally comes with the kit.

I'd like to use the U3 as the basis of beacons all the way to 10GHz and the Thunderbolt is a superior device for locking such things and supplying the base 10Mhz to lock the appropriate LO's.

thanks

Tim
