Default Spliting GPS out

Paul,

the E-04 can use different baud rates, but according to the manual,
only up to 9600bd. There is a jumper to set baud rate on the E-04, but
no setting for 19200bd or more.

Hi,

It is true that a K6 Mux could be used to do the job very nicely.
However, the note below is not correct. The ACK E-04 has pins for a
jumper (not provided) that can be used to change the baud rate.
Several months ago I purchased a jumper and set the baud rate to
4800 baud for a customer. I also sell a nice Goddard wiring harness
for the E-04 with a blinking light to indicate GPS data receptions.

As stated before here, the GPS data can be split to go to multiple
devices. 2 receivers nearly always works great. 3 works great
sometimes. If a simple split doesn't work then a K6 Mux is a good
idea. If you are relying on the data for an emergency with the
E-04, then perhaps it makes sense to invest in the K6 Mux to ensure
the signals are strong.

Example: take GPS from PowerFLARM to PNA and ACK E-04 ELT.


If you want to output collision warnings to the PNA the original
Flarm
needs at least 19200bd, but the E-04 only accepts up to 9600bps. You
might want to check if this is the same for the Power Flarm.
