Probably tapped for 1/2" pipe thread.

Good evening all,
After almost a month in transit, my GN-GGB0710 GNSS antenna arrived
from the auction site "we all know and love." ;)
Unit was not tapped to a proper 5/8"-11 TPI thread. A standard 5/8-11
bolt went in maybe two full threads. I modified an old tap I had in
the drawer into a 5/8"-11 bottom tap and cleaned it up. Best I can
tell, the thread cut by the manufacturer was slightly tapered.
I wasn't thrilled with the seal around the edge. Because it's flat,
some water might wick in, so I ran a quick bead of seal around both
the top and bottom end of the blue rubber seal.
Unit seems to work well. It's not mounted to the top of my antenna
pole, about 16 feet up from the ground, where it can see a pretty much
unobstructed view of the sky. All the GPS units on it thru the
splitter are getting excellent signal.
Now to wait until uBlox releases the ZED-F9T dev board. I did get a
response back from uBlox sales to my work e-mail address (which is a
very large organization) saying it's still in development with a
target release date of May or so...
thanks much and 73,
ben
