Both Codan and Barrett HF Radios
have the optional facility to interface a suitable GPS
to the radio via the GPS Interface Input. This feature
enables the radio to transmit and receive GPS positions
from other HF radios or suitably equipped base stations
e.g. HFoZ
If you have
one of the older style GPS units that has a Serial Data
Output facility, this can simply interface direct with
your HF Radio - No problems - However if your GPS is
one of the latest models you'll more than likely not
have this type of data ouptut, instead USB is used which
cannot be used with HF Radio.
The Garmin GPS16xHVS is the answer
to this problem. It is a GPS engine only, in other words
no display just a round dome type unit, that provides
serial data ouptut allowing interfacing to your HF radio.
