I want to make ntpd on my A20 to use MOD-GPS as a reference clock.
ntpd needs gps running at 4800 bps baud rate.

I try to set it with $PMTK251,4800*14 command
and get response
$PMTK001,251,2*37

The last field "2" means "Valid command / packet, but action failed".
Is there any way to set 4800 for MOD-GPS?

Hello Roux,

It seems like you are using the proper command and the check sum (14) is also proper.

Few ideas:

1. Do you (your terminal program) send <CR> <LF> at the end?
2. Have you considered adding some delay after the serial begin and before the serial end (like 500ms)?
3. Is the module in NMEA (not binary) mode?
