[VHFcontesting] Maidenhead grid locating for Rovers, now GPS time sync...

[Duane - N9DG]

I found the solution described here works well, a little fiddly to set up, but not too bad. It has been fiddle free since. I used the USB GPS device exactly as described in the write up. Have it working for months now on a isolated from the Internet "radio" / SDR Windows 7 computer. Holds the time to well within 1 second.

 Interesting information. I have a
 slightly different question.
 
 My buddy bought a used TV ENG truck with a
 40' pneumatic mast. $ 2,000 
 for the
 working truck.
 
 We are
 outfitting it to go roving, and I am putting emphasis on 6
 meter 
 grid hopping, both with e' skip,
 and particularly with MSK144. As such, 
 the
 laptop needs to be time synced.
 Is there a
 program that can take a hockey puck GPS appliance that we
 can 
 have on the roof, and it keeps the
 laptop on time?
 Looking more for an
 appliance operation, not interested in in taking the 
 time for building an interface. (We have too
 many "gadgets" on board 
 already.)
 
 And
 yes, it is a geeky fun project with this van.
