Thanks to the folk here for pointing out the ublox receivers. I managed to get one off eBay for ~US $30 with antenna on a board designed for hobbyists with 3.3V serial and PPS outputs (I needed to add one wire for that) which feed directly into a Raspberry Pi. It's still to be completed, but

Yes, and the new uBlox timing GPS have a software jamming sensor and indicator which the Motorola/iLotus products do not have, and they are much easier to get to work at a users' site than the Motorola parts, and much more robust against jamming than the Motorola timing GPS. We have done

Hi I haven't used that particular unit. I have played with similar units. That's pretty old stuff, and does not appear to have timing software in it. I suspect you would do *much* better (both performance and price wise) with something newer. Bob On Dec 31, 2011, at 7:41 PM,
