Hi Paul: The Polaris Guide may be what you're looking for. At first I thought that because it only puts out a little over 3 Volts it would not work with my existing collection of 5 Volt antennas, but so far it works with all of them as well as passive antennas. The exceptions are antennas that are a DC short or antennas that are a DC open. See: http://www.prc68.com/I/DAGR.shtml#Ant
This is the civilian version of the current U.S. military GPS hand held receiver called the Defense Advanced Gps Receiver (DAGR). It's extremely rugged and has external SMA female antenna connector and an external DC power connector as well as a pair of HD-15 data ports. Internal batteries are four AA.
