GPS_HEIGHT: '',              	// Enter fixed altitude in m (e.g.: '160' ) or leave blank for altitude via GPS signal 
UpdateMapPos: true,		// Set the value true or false for updating the FM DX server map

Important notes:

v1.0

  • Provision of GPS data from compatible GPS receivers (e.g. VK-162) for the web server and plugins
  • Acoustic signaling for gps status (Optional setting in gps.json)
  • Updating the FMDX server map with the GPS coordinates (Interval adjustable - min. 15 seconds)
  • Daily update check for admin

Until the web server is updated, the tx_search.js file in the server directory must be replaced with the attached one!!! Otherwise the location in the web server will not be updated.
