Review on 🌐 Stratux GPYes 2.0 USB GPS Receiver with u-blox 8 Technology by Maxwell Thomas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

3X better repair with DIY modification

Great product for Stratux DIY. I like internal versus external GPS for all the usual reasons. I received the 30 meter fix BEFORE the custom change I made. I am NOW corrected to 10m and have much less wobble than before my addition. And it's on the floor in the backyard. Haven't tried it on an airplane yet, but prior to the mod I got a 30m fix in the air. So I added a piece of thin cardboard from a box of Coke cans. I carefully wrapped one side of the box with two layers of kitchen aluminum foil. Then I inserted a homemade EMI/RFI shield between GPS and SDR. And what-t-knows. It works way better! I figured the SDRs were affecting performance even with the GPS plugged into the top USB port. The aluminum foil seems to offer additional protection. Hope this helps anyone messing around with their Stratux!
