Perhaps they can, perhaps they can't, but why not prove them in their
intended configuration before attempting to use a non-standard setup?

"NO GPS" has always extinguished on mine after a half hour or so.

Data does not immediately appear after power up. It takes a while
(15 minutes
or more) to start coming out.

That is correct - no interrogation is necessary. The data comes out
gratuitously at 1 second intervals at 9600 8N1 via differential
signalling
on pins J6-5,9.
Note also that J6 1PPS and SMA 15MHz outputs are not present on a
unit that
assumes a STDBY mode after completing its warmup.
