Title: Microsat WX3in1 Plus 2.0 Digipeater Set Up Help Needed
Post by: K4GTE on March 22, 2023, 06:59:03 AM
Recently bought a Microsat WX3in1 Plus 2.0 digipeater. Using a Yaesu FT 2980 radio. Having trouble inputting my coordinates in the Microsat configuration software. When I attempt to write configuration, I receive a "syntax error latitude/longitude" error message. It defaults to the manufacturer's coordinates in Poland. I have formatted my coordinates according to the manual, and every format I could think of, with no success. The unit is working fine, except for showing my location. I have emailed Microsat, with no response. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

go to aprs.fi and find the location that you want. on the upper left of your screen you will see your coordinates.
exp:38°32.14' N 86°38.08' W    type your coordinates in microsat  as: 3532.14N and 08638.08W
hope this helps
