DDF2020T Connection Diagram

When you use RS232(Serial) To USB Convertor, please install the right driver comes with it.
Antenna N should be placed in frontward of vehicle to indicate 0 degree of DF.Display.
When DDF2020 tunes with the right RF signal, it outputs clear 430 Hz audio signal which will indicates stable LED.

The Navi2020 “map plotting” program accepts DDF2020 DF + GPS messages and plots them on a Google Earth display window. Manual latitude / longitude and DF bearing inputs allow operation without a DDF2020 DF. Up to 100 plot points allowed, and hunt results are saved in archive files.

Google Earth normally works with an open internet link, but areas previously viewed are archived and available for offline viewing. This makes Navi2020 suitable for use in real time mobile hunts, when an internet link is not available.
