Fellow clock-tickers,
Thanks to the generous assistance of a customer service rep at Magellan
Navigation, I have received a full .PDF manual covering the Magellan OEM5000
receiver module used in many of the Odetics SatSync 325 and 425 GPS clock units.
This manual contains full details on both ASCII and Magellan Binary
outputs from the receiver, including that previously-elusive PMGLK sentence
that was driving me nuts.
The information in that manual, combined with a bit of hardware
ingenuity in the microcontroller world and the Odetics equipment manual, should
be enough to produce a hardware translation device which will (hopefully) allow
the use of a standard (and much more readily available) NMEA-output receiver
module. That's going to be a long-term project for me in the coming year.
Anyone who wants to try and beat me to it is, of course, welcome. ;-)
The manual may be found on the Blue Feather FTP archive.

Sign in as user ftp and the password can be anything you want (though I
prefer an E-mail for logging purposes).
The path is /electronics/radio/GPS/receivers/OEM/Magellan/oem5000
The file name is OEM5K.pdf
Happy reading.
