4.Antenna

An SMA female jack is available on the side panel of the evaluation unit for connecting an active antenna. The EVK provides the power supply for Antenna power. Use the BIAS switch to select the power source. INT_BIAS with recommended maximum output current 20 mA is powered by the module, and EXT_BIAS with recommended maximum output current 50 mA is powered by the LDO.

To keep the high performance,this EVK requires antenna gain greater than 40db

8.Enable/Disable specific message output

Menu “View”–“Messages”

if you want to disable RTCM1087, and enable RTCM1085, need two steps:

1. set 1087 period to 0
2. then set 1085 period to 1.

For,RTCM1085,msg id is 85(dec), to hex is 55.
So RTCM1085,Class ID is F8, and msg id is 55.
