Interesting surplus GPS receiver / 10 MHz item on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GPS-Receiver-board-from-TruePosition-GPS-locator/152340314423?
TruePosition GPS Receiver/10 MHz oscillator, auction number: 152340314423

Supposedly, this receiver is extracted from Time Position LMU300 model 101333.
Rack unit used at cellular sites, the LMU Universal system assisted to determine mobile phone location: emergency, 911 systems, etc.
Lots of parts :-)

The Mt. Airy VHF Radio Club ("Pack Rats"), Southampton, PA
has a technical article

Hi

The Furuno receiver on the board is an older model. It’s similar to the M12’s. Not quite as
sensitive as the “modern” stuff, but still very usable. Tough to beat the price … hint: the guy
takes offers … hint hint

Hi Gregory,

Thanks for the links!  I've got one of each on the way to me.  I've got
an e-mail into the authors of the Packrat GPS Receiver Project slides
asking about getting my hands on the Arduino code and asking if they
happened to have a copy of the full programming reference.  :)

I'll share what I learn with the group.  :)

thanks much and 73,
ben, kd5byb
