Jim,

Bobs suggestion is good; look at for example the  LT3060 for something that needs less than 100mA.

Glad your antenna is working well. What C/No numbers is uBlox indicating?

Bye,
Said

At this moment, I have good lock on 9 GPS birds and a "3d/gps" fix mode reported by U-center.  Interestingly, there are a few GPS birds that show up as blue, even though they have the same C/N ratio as some green birds.  One of them is at 89 degrees elevation -- no blockage like some to the west -- don't get that.
