[time-nuts] RFTGm-II-Rb - can you gps discipline it without the XO module?

[Bob Camp]

Hi

All the UT cards that I have ever seen use the small push on antenna connector. I have never seen one that directly takes anything "normal" like an SMA or a BNC. You buy the card and then a bit of coax with the push on on one end and (normally) an SMA on the other end. 

The antenna for the UT is a normal 5V powered GPS antenna. Just about anything other than a +12V survey antenna will work. 

If you go shopping, go for one of the later cards. They work a lot better than the early ones.
