[Elecraft] WSJT KX3 and GPS

[wb7ond]

When running WSJT with my KX3 portable, I use a program called  NMEATIME in
conjunction with a  HOLUX bluetooth GPS receiver.  My Holux is an older one,
but Amazon has a couple  newer models there, not too expensive.  When you
pair and connect the Holux, it shows up as a comport in the Windows device
manager.  When you launch NMEATime program, you can set its input as either
SNTP from the internet, or via a comport from a GPS receiver.  I use both. 
But, when portable I set the Holux out for a clear "sky" view and when the
leds on the receiver are showing good GPS connect, NMEA data comes through
the comport to the NMEATime program, it locks in and the resulting time
clock is right on.  I think though  you have to purchase the program to get
it to sync/change the Windows system time.  I purchased mine, so I don't
remember.  The little battery in the Holux lasts me the whole day.  Oh one
last thing, I connect a string to the Holux receiver, and run it to the
computer, so I do not have to run back to the park, when I realize I left it
there... (:0
