[OZAPRS] Uniden GPS301

[Richard Hoskin]

Hi Gavin,

I'm assuming you are running Windows something.

Try tuning off the FIFO buffer on the new laptops serial port.
Also check to see what com port number windows has allocated to your
serial
port.

Does the GPS require some kind of prompt to turn on?

Cheers
Richard
