Chris - I was not aware that you were having issues with the TAPR Experimenters Kit. I am finishing a DIY GPS kit build from "assorted parts sources" for Jim Pruitt. Jim missed purchasing the TAPR kit in May 2017 (sold out before he ordered). -- I acquired ($) a Synergy SynPaQ/E carrier board with a dead M12+ receiver. Since I happen to have a couple spare Oncore M12+ boards (inventory, working), it was just a matter of swapping those receiver boards. -- You need to be careful in selection of the GPS antenna, since there are a wide variety on the surplus market: Passive (no pre-amp); Active with different voltage requirements (12, 5, or 3.3 VDC) from GPS receiver. At the electronics bench, I try to use 5 Volt antennas (or 3.3V that are 5v tolerant) with similar GPS receivers (5V preferred).
