Review on GlobalSat BR 355S4 GPS Receiver Black by Ron Coleman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It has good sensitivity and records.

This is a device that Uniden has rebranded as a GPS kit and is fully interchangeable with the Uniden GPS washer, including a 6 pin DIN connector. It has good sensitivity and easily picks up a usable signal. in my basement. It outputs industry standard NMEA RS-232 serial data at 4800 baud. The LED lights constantly when searching for satellites and flashes when it is fixed. If you need to install your own connector, here is the wiring diagram: Black / Shield = Ground Red = +5V (requires around 50mA) Green = GPS data RS232 out White = RS232 data in (only used for GPS facility used, for most non-required applications)

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Out of fashion
