If you cannot disable FLL operation using the button in the Control window
of the Montrol software, then you have a communication problem in the
PC-to-board direction. You must find your problem first, otherwise you will
not be able to setup the GPS Standard board. Probe the link from the PC up
to the PIC processor's pin 18. When probing, use the "Parameter Read Back"
button in the Control window to make Montrol to send data to the PIC.

Got it!  The 3 wires from the MAX232 to the controller were too long as
were other wires. The signals from the PC never made the trip to the
controller.


The controller is working fine, now have lock.  The string of data looks
good to me and more interesting than cable television.

Thanks Bert, I really appreciate all your past work and present
attention.
