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.

Some FLARM systems have two data outputs, which work
independently. It might be possible to connect one with 4800 bauds
speed, and another is adjustable. However, cannot remember now
what data this 4800 bauds link sends out. Someone, please.
