PK-STXe-USB – Everything you need!!
The New PK-STXe USB is a smart AGPS1 telemetry module bundled with the
RX-Base3 Module! The new STX-e supports the new TracID™ feature which allows
simultaneous tracking of 10 units per second with same RX-Base3 receiver2. It also
has a new ‘
feature slot’for add-in boards such as the new digital altimeter option
which provides altitude accuracy to +- 5 foot, and accurate temperature readings to
1o F. The STX-e is the most advanced GPS telemetry module on the market today.
Utilizing a very small integrated 12 channel
WAAS GPS, and a 900 MHz spread spectrum
radio link, the STX-e is built for those who need
to track multiple moving objects simultaneously
in real-time. The Onboard TracID computer
compresses and packetizes position data to
reduce transmission errors, and enable multiple
units to report at the same time. It provides
highly accurate altitude & position measurements
for RC aircraft, paragliders, RC Boats, and other
sports where real-time tracking of multiple
objects
with
a
high
degree
of accuracy is important.
ALSO included in this package is the RX-Base3
receiver module, with 6’USB cable to connect to your
PC, and a 2db gain antenna to bring in signals from a
long way off. The technology employed in the radio
link allows signals to be picked up at great distance
because the RX Base3 can decode data at an amazing
-110db!! Compared to standard HAM radios, that
delivers nearly 10x the range at less power. Really
nice about RXBase3 is that it does not need an
external Power Supply!

GPSFlight Dashboard 2.0 software is bundled with each unit, which provides
programming, decoding and display of the TracID functions, and the digital altimeter
and temperature data. Using the GPSFlight setup Wizard, all features can be configured - so
no other software is required making setup and channel selection easy. GPSFlight Dashboard
software also provides on-screen real-time telemetry of all data for single units.

AGPS refers to ‘Assisted GPS’where GPS data is augmented and assisted by other technology.
Total number of units that can be tracked simultaneously per GPSFlight Network is 590 spanning multiple seconds.

STX-e also works with the new GPSFlight TEAM software product which allows multiple units to
be tracked on the same screen at the same time for sporting events, etc. Using GPSFlight
TEAM tracks real-time data for 10 units per second.
The STX-e unit also works with several other off the shelf GPS tracking software applications.3
Any application supporting the NMEA GPS data format will be able to display STX-e position
information4.

Other GPS software will not be able to decode all of the data from the STX-e, but will be able to provide basic GPS
position information.
4 3rd party NMEA software will only report standard GPS information and will not support TracID or the barometric
module information as these utilize a proprietary GPSFlight protocol.
