Does it require the external receiver?

Hey Gerry, I believe the question you're asking is does it require an external GPS antenna correct? The answer to that question is no, I took mine off and now it's in the garage, the GPS works wonderfully with the internal antenna. The only reason you would need to add an external antenna to the GPS unit is if you put it somewhere where it couldn't get a signal, like below deck. I hope this answers your questions, thanks Corey.

No, it does not require a external but it will accept one. I just finished a 1600 mile trip with the unit mounted on the flybridge dash and it never missed a beat.

No, it does not need an external receiver. The 541 is complete, right out of the box. I've been using one for about a year, and will never be without it! 'Love it! Mounted under my T-top and it picks up satellite signals quickly every time.

Not necessarily unless the receiver is an upgraded. Mine wasn't so my didn't work.

External wire but no antenna but the receiver picks up well at least in my area without an actual antenna

Can you hook this unit directly to an HDTV using an HDMI cable but with no receiver?

Yes, both the transmitter and receiver need to be plugged in to an electrical outlet.

No, It's a self contained unit with a battery compartment on the left side and on off and volume on the right. there is no provision for any external connection, on this or the previous version

It doesn't have a built in receiver. You need to plug a basic radio into it

It does not, but it is easy to add an inexpensive internal card or external plug-in device to get the capabilities.

Yes, you only need a USB port in your computer. The receiver is built into the antenna. You MIGHT need to download some drivers for the device if you PC doesn't have any that will work.

yes, it does. But I read in many forums that's better to use an external one.

I don't know what you need, but you don't have a receiver, you just have a monitor. Google it.

You don't need a receiver with this unit! It's self-amplified. Just plug it in to your TV via HDMI. Plug your other components in to the TV as well. At worst, you'll need to run a pair of RCA audio cables from the TV back to the audio input of the Sound Bar. Hope this helps

You will need a receiver to power the speaker. It does not have an independent power source.

do i have to have a DJ program in order to use this or any other device such as an external sound card?

No, nothing else is needed as it is a receiver in itself. Just plug into your tv and enjoy. We love it as the tv can sit right on top and integrates for a neat and organized look.

Luke, I don't know. I haven't tried to hook up any external speakers. Sorry
