Hopefully someone has an idea.
The GPS 3 does not want to work on the pioneer, it sees it but does not get any data on the core.
Connected the GPS 3 to the fast track output.
I tested the GPS 3 on another receiver and it works fine

No, I have the xicoy turbine data on receiver 1.
And according to the manual, the GPS should be able to use fast track

Is the Pioneer over a year old?

Check to see if your Pioneer has a small green round/dot sticker on the side of the unit.

There was an internal modification carried out on early units as they had trouble with the GPSIII.

All later/modified units were labelled with the small green dot.

t is from October 2022.
With green sticker.
So it should work.
Or just bad luck.
If there are any other options, I'll just try that.

Maybe a PBS dock in receiver 1?
Or could it also be done in receiver 2 with a 3-way plug?

I mis-spoke earlier, the GPS goes into the fast track on the pioneer, with a Y to the isat if you're using the gyro. It will work plugged into the receiver for telemetry data but to get gain control on the isat it needs to be plugged into the pioneer.

[QUOTE=BarracudaHockey; 12802975]Ik heb het eerder verkeerd gezegd, de GPS gaat in de snelle baan op de pionier, met een Y naar de isat als je de gyro gebruikt. Het werkt aangesloten op de ontvanger voor telemetriegegevens, maar om controle te krijgen over de isat moet het worden aangesloten op de pionier. [/CITAAT] I connected the GPS 3 to the other receiver via a Y cable and it works.
On the Pioneer it keeps flashing slowly and does not pick up satellite.
So I think my Pioneer is not suitable even though it does have a green sticker on the side. What is the best option: a double Y cable on 1 receiver or a Y cable on both?

That's strange. What version is on your Pioneer? V1.5 is the latest.

The double Y on RX1 is a better option, and that will give you telemetry if you're not wanting to use gyro gain.

I have no idea what version it is.
Don't use a gyro in my rebel classic, it flies very well now. And the pilot is the limitation.
It remains strange, the pioneer sees the GPS but it indicates an error. There is a green sticker on the box and on the pioneer.

My guess is firmware version, there are several of the updates that deal with the GPS. You need a new mobile terminal or their USB dongle and a laptop or something with powerbox terminal.

The fact it works on the rx and not in the fasttrack on the pioneer really makes me suspect old software.
