I had some experience with this recently, using this USB GPS https://www.ebay.com/itm/284227196983 with GPS2time https://vk4adc.com/web/index.php/software-projects/55-vk4adc-utils/181-gps2time on a Win10 laptop. We got this to work well, but there were some problems: 1. An older USB GPS works on linux, but because it has the Prolific chip, it does not work on Win10. 2. When the GPS was unplugged, the RF noise level dropped several S-units. This was mentioned on the VK4ADC page, and the GPS does not need to remain connected after the time has been set. 3. Several turns around a ferrite bead on the GPS cable reduced the noise, but the GPS cable is only 2m long. 4. A USB extender cable was needed so that the GPS could be outside, on the other side of the wall. 5. GPS2time has a checkbox for Daylight Savings Time, which must be checked appropriately. 6. GPS2time can set the grid square before starting wsjtx, which would be useful for a rover station. -John AC6SL _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
