As to what you would see, find the manual for the Motorola receiver for details. I don't have the link, but somebody else does.
You get some info about the device and info about each satellite. You can use a 422 to USB converter or clip on either wire with a digital scope that decodes simple serial streams, like PicoScope.

If you shop a bit, you can get some dirt cheap USB to 422 adapters at the risk of having issues with the drivers (now or down the road).

I see it has a RS-422 output on one of the connectors. If I build or buy a 422 to 232 converter can I expect to be able to view the unit's data output with something like Lady Heather or Tboltmon?
