Greenlight Labs GPS-710 now back instock @ The HAM Radio Shop LAMCO Barnsley
£139.95
- Simple plug-and-play design (less than 5 minutes to install)
- Clutter-free attachment to TM-D710 Operation Panel
- High performance GPS engine
- Very low power: 0.2 Watts
- Always-on design for instantaneous radio start up
- RJ45 jacks employ integrated ferrites for improved noise immunity
- Fully shielded, high quality jumper cables
- Fully FCC Class B tested
- RoHS compliant
The GPS-710 is a custom built, uncluttered, plug-and-play solution for adding a stand-alone GPS to your Kenwood TM-D710 or RC-D710 radios. It uses an excellent 20 channel SiRF-III GPS chipset (with WAAS, ENGOS, and MSAS augmentation) that can acquire GPS lock from a cold start in well under 60 seconds. The active internal antenna has proven to be extremely capable of maintaining GPS lock, even in very unfavorable mobile installations. The GPS remains powered even while the radio is off, and provides data immediately when the radio is powered on - instantaneous position lock. The GPS-710 draws about two-tenths of a Watt from the line, and does not present a significant standby drain to an automobile battery.
As you can see from the photo below, the GPS-710 is hidden well behind the Operation Panel. The GPS-710 is attached to the Operation Panel with automotive-grade "high bond" adhesive tape, designed to maintain a strong bond in temperatures up to 200F, which is well above the operating temperature limits of the radio. For anyone not wanting to mount the GPS-710 to the back of the Operation Panel, optional separation kits (6" and 24") are available.
The shielded serial jumper uses molded right-angle connectors with an integrated strain relief. The data jumper uses a double shielded cable that follows the Kenwood design for signal shielding. The wires are cemented into the RJ-45 (CAT6) connectors before being crimped into place and the resulting connection is extremely reliable. Every GPS-710 is individually tested on a TM-D710 before packaging.
The GPS-710 is FCC Class B certified as a peripheral device to the TM-D710/RC-D710. The RJ-45 jacks on the GPS-710 employ high quality EMI filters, so additional ferrites are not commonly needed. An open "pass-through" 2.5mm serial jack is provided, as can be seen below, so that an external device can be attached to the TM-D710 and/or GPS-710 serial output signals. An example of attaching the GPS-710 to a laptop (APRSISCE, APRSPoint, UI-View32) is given here.
The mounting bracket and COM port are both completely usable with the GPS-710 installed.

Icom ID-51 due into stock, July 2013 @ LAMCO Barnsley.
Click to enlarge
Icom Inc. have shown a prototype of a new dual band D-STAR handheld
radio at the Tokyo Ham Fair 2012 which is being held between August
25th and 26th 2012 in Tokyo.
The ID-51A/E series D-STAR handheld radio is an evolution of Icom’s ID-31A/E UHF D-STAR Handheld and will be capable of both VV / UU 144MHz + 430MHz dual band operation. The ID-51A/E will also include the much praised menu-driven user interface of the ID-31A/E series with a much bigger LCD screen. The ID-51A/E will also feature integrated GPS & D-STAR as well as IPx7 waterproofing, SD-Card slot and slim body found on the ID-31A/E.
Other planned features include
• VV / UU capable 144MHz and 430MHz dual band (Only one DV signal can be received, similar to the manner as the IC-2820H/E2820 series).
• Limited wideband receive for AM/FM broadcast (no bar antenna), 118-137MHz (AM air band), 137- 174MHz and 380-479MHz
• Larger full dot matrix LCD
• Broadcast mode LCD indication (rather than VFO only, station name can be shown)
• Enhanced logging function. The ID-51A/E records frequencies, time, position and other operation related information on the SD Card.
• Improved automatic response function. The radio may be programmed to have an automated response self call sign for unique reply in addition to regular call sign
• Voice recorder function (not the communication logging function but a simple digital voice recorder function which records your voice).
• One touch voice play back function for contest transmissions
• Frequency and mode of operation speech and specific frequency beep function helps blind hams for easier operation.
• Enhanced RX call sign memory records up to 50 past received call signs, which can be exported to micro SD card.
• Increased memory channel for repeater list (750)/ GPS memory (200).
• Approx 10mm taller and 1mm thicker than the ID-31A/E (weight TBA) • 5 Watts output (tx)
