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.
