Connecting T41 to a ProXT works until I turn on ArcPad.  Why does ArcPad turn off my external ant.

Hi Barry,

As this concerns ArcPad, I've moved this to it's group in GeoNet.

The antenna turning off is not expected. I dont have that exact combination of antenna and Windows Mobile device here to test, but this user describes the settings he uses - https://community.esri.com/thread/77541#comment-335558 - is this what you are doing?

If you still have issues, can you describe what you are doing a little more. eg: what other apps are running, a screenshot (or photo) of the GPS settings on the T41, and or the GPS settings in ArcPad.

It appeared that the Baud Rate was set to high in the GPS Controller program. I dropped it down to 9600. I also learned that after using GPS Controller to set up the ports and other settings I should exit that program. Then turn on ArcPad, pull in the COM Port and Baud Rate. I did not know that it was OK for the GPS Controller program not to run in the background.
