GPS for GM300

[rochele1]

Hi to Experts

I was thinking is there any module or plugin which i connect to my gm300 and send my current location over VHF freq. and a machine in the base to recieve the cordination ?

because most of the active gps are sending data by a sim , if we calculate daily the gps will send 200 sms , and each sms costs $0.1 so it would be $20 daily which is really high annualy ,

so i thought VHF Freq. can be used as infrastructure and a gps machine which sends current cordination over the infrastructure can be good scenario ,

if you all have an idea please help me

APRS. Argent data makes devices that can be interfaced with VHF equipment, and send position data.

Plenty of the manufacturers support AVL in all bands. I have installed many different models. I would contact your local radio shop and ask them what they sell and start there. Normally the software is the most expensive part of the system.

If you have an amateur radio license, research APRS, or Automatic Position Reporting System
If you are not an amateur, do a search on AVL, or Automatic Vehicle Location.

Both systems will do what you want to do.

GPS for GP, GM Motorola

Be advised that few GP and GM series radios were built to operate at the recently mandated 12 khz. band width.
Most are built for 25 khz. and illegal to use in any service other than Amateur radio. That's why there are so many on the used market. They may cause interference to other licensed services. I had to replace about 50 of them with new radios.
I know I may be raining on your parade but not not as much as a letter from the FCC would.

Your over all concept is sound and fairly easy to implement but you may need something a bit newer that can be reprogrammed such at the next newer 1225 series.

And based on the grammar, spelling errors and sentence syntax, I am guessing the OP is NOT in the USA... Where the FCC has zero jurisdiction... The FCC narrow band mandate ONLY applies to the USA.

Well said.

Before lecturing anybody on regulations, find out where they are located or at least add a proviso to your advice that they should check with the local authorities before putting the radio in service.

I did a little poking around to refresh my memory. Our OP is in the Dominican Republic. That sort of explains why he has radios like the GM300. The FCC in its infinite wisdom has rendered these fine radios obsolete in the US so that folks like our friend rochele1 here can pick them up for pennies on the dollar even with shipping costs.

thanks to all for analyzing me , yes i'm in dominican republic and we do not follow FCC , here people are not interested in digital radios because those radios are expensive , we are not rich like you guys , we still believe analog system is better due to low costs of maintenance and equipment.

so if you guys have any idea how to find a way for doing this i would appreciate .

regarding AVR i have surfed internet but the problem for someone like me is that i'm not looking for the conecpts or systems , i look for turn-key solution , a company which sells the board or something to install and boom , it works .

by the way thanks to all you guys ,

GM GP GPS

Didn't realize you were in Dominican Republic. My wife is from Philippines and the same pretty much goes there. The GM and GP series are very good radios and should serve you well.
