Hal - there's nothing coming out of those connectors.  I'll explore again once I can get my GPS connected to the unit and see if that changes anything.

If you look carefully at the pictures showing the bottom of the connector area on the 10 MHz and Antenna connectors you can see that the connectors don't share any mounting/connecting holes on the PCB.

If you want 10 MHz out of the unit with the GPS module, you can get it from the center pin of the unused connector.  (You may have to add other parts to get 10 MHz over there.)

An alternative migh be to move the antenna connector on the GPS module from the bottom to the top, then use a pigtail lead to the panel.  That may not work.  From the pictures, it looks like power to the antenna is added to the trace on the bottom of the board.
