I will upload schematics and PCB layout soon.

assembled PCB + TAKACHI enclosure with GPS antenna. shipping fee by registered 
mail is including. $180USD is special price until 2/28.

Does anyone want kit?

ICS512M multiplier is used for 4x frequency of WI125. WI125 can output over 
30MHz square wave. it is very clean and stable.

BPF selector is built in. I use FST3251. But built in BPF is not so 
high-performance. There is NO BPF mode for outer filters.

Yes, Si8430 is used as isolator. USB BUS power is filtered by common mode 
transformer. It is same with Soft66ADI.
