[time-nuts] Ublox 8T

[ew]

First we do not know how old the units are on ebay, second  you say your board has LEA and what does NEO have to do with it. If we find out that these units are old I am sure time nuts will find an answer and you will be able to update the units you bought.                                                                                                                                                                  Bert Kehren                                                                                                                                                                    In a message dated 12/11/2020 5:24:56 PM Eastern Standard Time, arnold.tibus at gmx.de writes: 
Many thanks to all the timenuts for these interesting informations
concerning *M8T* and for all other good ideas.

My bad, I did not look careful enough to realize that in the ebay
offer mentioned is not a *NEO* M8T but a *LEA* and I did order 2 units
... Fortunately that is not expensive. (Thank you Matthias, I did not
know the difference before!).

No I do not want to build my own module, I do have another problem.
When I bought years ago a professional replacement board from a well
known US-company equipped with the LEA-M8T I got it delivered with the
1st firmware which is not yet capable to work correct with GALILEO
Satellites which I want to receive as well.

The next bad point is, here in Germany I cannot get the new firmware to
update the module (I had asked the representative for M8T). Sending it
back and forth to the US-Company (insured an then on top the customs
problem) is far out to be interesting ... so I falled into the trap with
this offer. I thought to exchange just the receiver on the boards ...
Perhaps somewhen I will find the correct new firmware to load onto the
old original *NEO-M8T* ...

In meantime I will continue working with my good old Thunderbolt.

Many thanks to everybody
  and good and healthy Xmas Time
and good luck for all your projects!

Arnold, DK2WT
