The "place to put your Garmin receiver" may not be as simple as it sounds. It needs a good view of the sky. Roof is best, but a window may be good enough. A machine room is unlikely to work, even if you have a good window. Too much EMI. An elevator control room may have similar problems. I've thought about building a pair of boxes that would use standard CAT-5 cables as an extender for this sort of thing. 4 pairs works nicely: power, TX, RX, PPS. > People have done it with a Rpi, if you want to go that route. The RPi has its Ethernet chip connected by USB so that adds a bit of fuzz. I should try to measure that. -- These are my opinions.
