Hi Matt,
this may not work for you, but the new receivers coming onto the market are
amazingly sensitive.
I get full signal strength inside our wooden house on a Sirf-based receiver
we are evaluating. I also get 8 Sats and more inside a metal building where we
don't even get Cell-phone reception. The older Motorola receivers don't see
any sats under the same conditions.
While hiding the antenna inside the building will degrade the timing
performance, it may save your equipment and you from getting zapped.
bye,
Said

Until such time as I can get a permanent antenna system and cabling set
up (I don't do roof clambering), I'll leave that side of it and have and
insert an optical stage between the receiver and the MAX232 and use
fully isolated and independent power.
Cheers
