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

[Russell Oder]

Dan, from what Bill sent me, I think I have a line on what I need to do.  I 
will see about getting the GPS receiver this week and wire it into my cable 
Farallon prepared for me when I bought the SCS controller.

I will let you know how it turns out.  I appreciate your notes.
