Plus, you can add a Motrorla UT+ GPS receiver into the Z3812A and turn it into a GPSDO.  There is a nice writeup of the procedure on EEVBLOG.  Basically you move a half dozen 0 ohm resistors and add a resistor for the antenna current sense circuit.

Also, Lady Heather now talks to them.

I looked at this when it was mentioned here a few weeks ago. I did the
procedure in an hour or so and it's working well, keeping the PPS within
50ns of GPS with 6-8 satellites. Monitored by the patched version of Z38XX
at the moment though I look forward to putting Lady Heather on the job.

The curious thing is, although that file is hosted on eevblog, I can't find
any link to it from the forums. You have to know where to find it.

Perhaps we could get a copy on Didier's site (with the author, Peter
Garde's permission) before it gets lost ?
