I just did a small adapter board that converts the 2x5 pin 2mm header on the Furuno GT-8031 to a 1x9 pin 0.1" connector with the pinouts of the Adafruit Ultimate GPS. There a couple of minor pin differences... the Adafruit FIX pin is not used and the Adafriuit 3.3VREG output pin is used as the Furuno antenna power connection. The Furuno can be soldered to the board or a female connector could be installed.

I'm getting ready to order a few boards. If interested, contact me off list.

Talking about Furuno has any one looked at the GT-87. I have known about it for years but found no way to buy some now DigiKey has them for $ 100, Buerklin in Germany for half that price. Saw tooth is +- 1.7 nsec we are not going to bother with correction. We are in the process to lay out a board any recommendations are appreciated

I bought some of the Furuno GT-8736 boards for $35 a pop, qty 1 (or 2 as
was the case). And was quoted at $26.91 a pop if I buy 100. If there's
interest, I'm happy to coordinate a group buy at cost. Just paid off that
credit card yesterday so why not? If there are more desirable boards from
Furuno, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I see that Buerklin has also complete GPSDOs from Furuno, the GF-8701
seems the entry level model for 291 eur.

Never having opened my TBolt, are the GT-8736 boards of use to replace the aging and partly deaf receiver in that? Or for a KS-24019?

Thanks
