Interfacing Icom and Yaesu radios to GPS

Hi, I have bought several QLG1's over the years and they are a very fine product and work indoors! The last one I bought, I wanted to use to feed other radios with GPS information, Both FT-991A and Ic

Hi All, All good points, and yes there seems to be oscillation, at 5V which a cap did not cure, Data is valid and working at 4.8V at 48mA. Hans came back to me with the answer. see below: "Hi Andrew T

By unstable do you mean oscillation at one or more of the outputs? Maybe a decoupling capacitor of 0.01u across the power pins right at the chip might help...

Hi All, I damaged IC1 74ACT08, it got over zapped with 12V, I replaced with an TC74HC08AP, as it had the same pin out, (not all Quad AND gates do), the LM 317 survived. However if I run at 5V the yell

"...when using WSPR mode there is no need to "manually" calibrate the QCX via menu options" Absolutely right, Mont, as usual. I do a manual cal and clock set most of the time just to move things along

You can press the enter button if the OLG-1 stalls in WSPR and it jogs it into operation. Or you can order the new GPS. I ordered the new GPS. Hopefully resolving a KNOWN ISSUE.

Terrific Julian. Thanks. Have you found that the OLG-1 can hang up in WSPR mode with a waiting indicator. It may be dependent on Frequency. My problems were not as difficult on the lower bands,

I find that it never does that when the unit is in practice mode, so when I calibrate a unit and set time ready to run WSPR, I simply put the unit into practice mode first. Once calibrated, I turn off
