The kit comprises SMD components which are pre-soldered to the PCB during manufacture. Only the SMA connector and pin header connectors need to be soldered to the QMX+ PCB and QLG3 PCB. 

The kit includes

  • PCB with module soldered
  • 90° SMA connector
  • Magnetic mount patch antenna with 2m coax and SMA connector
  • 2pcs 11mm nylon hex spacers,
  • 4pcs 6mm nylon screw
  • 1x5-pin male and female header connectors

Everything you need, to install the module in the QMX+ transceiver. Installation instructions are in the QMX+ assembly manual.

QLG3 can be used for other projects too, as long as you provide a regulated 3.3V supply and your application can use the unbuffered logic voltage thresholds from the GPS module.

Features:

  • Supply voltage: 3.3.
  • Board 0.725 x 0.7125 inches / 18.4 x 18.1 mm
  • Multi GNSS satellite constellation receiver supports the following systems GPS (US), Galileo (Europe), GLONASS (Russia) and Beidou (Chinese) - giving a faster more accurate position fix.
  • Supplied with included active antenna, approx 2m coax and SMA connectors.
  • 2.8 logic level output is suitable for 3.3V microcontrollers
  • SMD assembly already undertaken by factory facility - only SMA connector and pin headers to solder.
