Re: [App_rpt-users] Trouble with RTCM and Garmin GPS (18x LVC)
Have you looked at: http://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/RTCM_Client#GPS Specifically, does this Garmin use 5V or 3.3V logic? I believe the RTCM uses 5V logic only (the VOTER) will do either. If your Garmin is 3.3V, it may have issues. Also, make sure the baud rate is correct, and it is configured to send the required NMEA sentences.

Thanks for the pointer to the GPS writeup. I had missed this. Will review and see where I get. On Thu, Nov 16, 2017 at 7:58 AM, Lee Woldanski <ve7fet@tparc.org> wrote:

I only use this Garmin (GPS18x LVC, 5m) and have no problem with the RTCM. I got most of them many years ago but the last one I bought in 2016 and it worked fine also. I just hook them up and they work. I have not looked at the pulse with a scope. I recall there is a JP4 that can be changed in the RTCM. In one position, (1-2), it has thresholds of less than 0.8v and greater than 2.0V and is +-25v tolerant and in the other default position (2-3) it should be standard TTL input and 0 to 5 volt tolerant.
