Hi David, (I did not check the exact offer of your CN supplier)
How do you intend to mount the antenna? How long a cable must you run from the Tbolt to the antenna? Will a small magnetic mount antenna puck with a 3-5 meter thin koax attached mount ok and give a clear view of the sky? If yes, then go for that solution. If you need (and are allowed) to make a longer cable run up to a roof-mounted antenna to get good sky visibility then go for a better antenna. VIC-100/Motorola/HP/Agilent/Symmetricom GPS timing antenna comes to mind. Good luck! -- Björn > I note the Chinese supplier offers two kits, one more expensive than the > other.
