How long antenna cable do you need in your location? How low-loss antenna cable will you use? The orginal antenna to the Tbolt is the Trimble Bullet antenna. http://trl.trimble.com/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-8420/Bullet-III_DS.pdf Ebay #220997989191 Here is a former HP/Agilent antenna that has worked fine for me. http://www.symmetricom.com/products/gps-solutions/gps-timing-products-and-accessories/58532A-GPS-L1-Reference-Antenna/ Generally most GPS antennas will work. (Searching for "GPS timing antenna" will give you some choice) Here is a very nice antenna. Rather good gain at 33dB, LNA power from 2.5VDC to 24VDC - which means it can take the oldtimer GPS receivers giving 12V or 15V and new giving 3.3V or lower. (Like Antcom antennas, no dealings with that particular seller.)
