[FADCA] I need a GPS receiver that will output the signal needed by a SCS PTC-IIpro PACTOR controller.

[Russell Oder]

Which GPS receiver will provide the data needed and where can it be 
obtained.

No one in this area who sells GPS receivers seems to know what I am talking 
about.  None of the manufactures web sites that I have found say anyting 
about providing out put for a device that can use the data.

I need product model etc.
