1.3 External Antenna

Basically, you don’t need external antenna to perform GPS positioning with BC-307

since it already build-in active antenna. The only condition that you need external antenna is

when BC-307 unit can not “see” the sky, For instance, when you are in a car, or any

environments that GPS signal is blocked, the external GPS antenna will help to receive better

GPS signal.

Plug the external antenna with MMCX connector to the plug on BC-307. Place the

magnetic external antenna on the roof of the car or an outdoor open-space, and make sure

place it in correct direction. That is, the side with magnetic is the bottom side, and the upper

side must face to sky in order to receive better signal.

Notice:

Hold the antenna connector while you plug the external antenna into the BC-307 or

unplug the external antenna from the BC-307. Do not pull the cable line.

PC and ActiveSync).

2. Plug BC-307 into PDA.

3. Run the “GPS Information” program from “Start →Program files” of PDA. User

software directly.

1. Run the “Hypertrm.exe” from “Program →Accessories →Communications →Hyper Terminal”.

2. Select the proper COM port for your GPS device.

3. Set COM port to :

Baud rate: 4800

Data bit: 8

Parity: None

Stop bit: 1

Flow control: None

4. If no mistakes have been made in the configuration process there should be data being displayed in the

window, which is confirmation that the communication between the GPS device and the “Hyper Terminal”

software is working properly.
