[FADCA] I need a GPS receiver that will output the signal neededby a SCS PTC-IIpro PACTOR controller.

[Russell Oder]

The SCS manual says nothing about the GPS signal.  Maybe it is the Airmail 
program that uses the data to put my position in the Emails I send using 
Airmail.

When I purchased the controller Farallon Electronics, who sells the 
SCS-IIPRO Pactor controller said they would modify the DB9 connector that 
goes into the serial port on my laptop to allow me to pug it into a GPS 
receiver so my position could be reported with the Email I send using 
Airmail.

Anyone know?

Can you tell me what data the pactor box needs, I assume that it is in
NMEA format, if not then we need to know what format they are looking
for.

If it is NMEA format then which sentences are they looking for?

The problem is that none of them probably know what a pactor box is. But
I bet (providing the pactor box is looking for NMEA sentences) which
sentences you are looking for someone could ID the device you are looking
for.
