The GPS Receiver bundled with 
Star Sync 
software employs a 
Garmin GPS18 receiver. The size of a thick cookie, the GPS18 is a complete 12 
channel GPS
      receiver and embedded antenna. Based on the
      proven technology found in other Garmin GPS receivers, the GPS18 will track up to twelve satellites at a time while providing one-second
      pulsed time updates. Its far-reaching capability meets the sensitivity 
requirements of land applications as well as the demanding requirements of 
mobile application. |  |  
The GPS18 receiver design utilizes the latest technology and
      high-level circuit integration to achieve superior performance while
      minimizing space and power requirements. Utilizing Garmin's proprietary chipset, all critical components of the system including the RF/IF receiver hardware and the digital 
base-band are 
      manufactured by Garmin to ensure outstanding quality and capability.
 
 The Star Sync  receiver  is housed in a 
black, water-resistant case and designed to withstand normal operating 
conditions. While simple to install the minimum installation must provide a source of 
AC power and a clear view of the GPS satellites.   Internal memory
      backup allows the GPS18 to retain critical data such as satellite orbital
      parameters, last position, date, and time. The Star Sync GPS comes with a
      nine-foot interface cable, with a DB9 serial data connector and external 
AC power supply. The Star Sync GPS receiver and can be mounted 
indoors or out. The housing has a built-in magnetic mount. An optional flange 
mounting kit is also available.
