Re: [gpsd-users] Earthmate Hyperformance

Eric,

In concert with your reply, I just got two gpsd-users digests too,  
something got unstuck!

I am running Ubuntu 13.04 and it installs gpsd 3.6, is this variant  
compatible with the Earhtmate Hyperformance?

My first interest in the Hyperformance is to get PPS output for NTP,  
how do I use gpsd to configure and attain such functionality?

The second interest I have is to use gpsd supply GPS positional data  
to XASTIR. Not being a JSON expert, how would you recommend I  
configure gpsd to achieve this?


V/R and 73,

Stuart
