[aprssig] THD7A GPS Question

[Sam Guccione]

Ron you identified part of the problem. I was looking for data on the tip
not the ring. I am now seeing data on the ring of th plug. I inserted the
plug into the D7 GPS port and still do not see lat long but the degree
symbol, the decimal point and the minute symbol are all blinking once a
second. I guess this means the GPS receiver is sending data to the port. I
will let this set for a while to see if it takes some lockup time for the D7
to collect data.

Thanks. Sam

Data should be on the ring, not the tip.  The tip is output from the radio
to the GPS, ring is data from the GPS to the
radio.
