A $100 unit such as that is VERY likely a Chinese unit!

They are unreliable and NOT worth what you pay!

Trimble and others sell completely self contained units with an accurate 10MHZ output.

You WILL spend a fair bit more!  You get closer to $200 for them.

You will only get what you pay for!

The GPS signal is OVER 1 GHZ!  Something like 1.15GHZ.  The antenna is BEST an active one with amplification.

That antenna can either be located outside or "maybe" in an attic.
