I've had a chance tonight to spend some time validating a new GPS receiver with which adds GLONASS. Looking good w/much better sensitivity. Those of you who have been mentioning the desire for this don't have long to wait - 30 days or so, really depends on how long the GPS module stock lasts here. Rev K will have the new GPS modules.
In the process I've discovered that cambium in 15.1.1 (or perhaps earlier) seems to have fixed a longstanding bug in the 450i that prevented reliable reception of GPS status information on the GPS status screen. However, I've also discovered that in order to get GPS status at all, you need uGPS power on, even for those devices such as a syncbox 12 which doesn't need uGPS power. For those of you running 15.1.1 on a 450i/450m, and a packetflux timing port sync device (aka a syncbox of some sort), I'm curious to find out if enabling uGPS power and enabling 'verify gps message checksum' results in a usable GPS status screen. Note that you'll need pin 3 on the syncbox connected to pin 4 on the 450i/m if you're using a timing port device (as opposed to a syncbox junior Aux Port version which just needs a straight through CAT5 cable.). -- *Forrest Christian* *CEO**, PacketFlux Technologies, Inc.* Tel: 406-449-3345 | Address: 3577 Countryside Road, Helena, MT 59602 [email protected] | http://www.packetflux.com <http://www.linkedin.com/in/fwchristian> <http://facebook.com/packetflux> <http://twitter.com/@packetflux>
