RTCM GPS and Console Interface


Several of the Colorado repeater clubs use voting receivers on their repeaters to extend coverage into the Colorado foothills. Their early installations hand wired the Micro-Node RTCM, a GPS receiver and an RS-232 console connector for each deployment.

One of the builders of these systems asked for a proposal on how to simplify these installs. He wanted the install to be more plug-n-play.

What you see here is the result of the proposal. A circuit board jumpers the signals of the RTCM 15-pin connector to the RGCI. Within the RGCI is a u-blox NEO-M8 GPS receiver. Connect an active GPS antenna to the RGCI antenna
connector. The RTCM console is accessed via the RS-232 DE9F Console connector. Power is supplied from the RTCM.
