Thanks Gary. I'm having a hard time finding any neo-m8n boards that
actually have the PPS wired up - tons of them meant for drones, so no
PPS. Plenty of neo-6m and neo-7m units with PPS though. I have seen
some writeups where folks wire up the pin by hand, but I'm not so
sure I'd be steady enough to do that sort of small-scale soldering.

It takes some patience to find them. The PPS rarely mentioned in the
product description. I scan the images for a 5 pin connector. The best
deals are fleeting.
$20:

I have one of these that I like, I did not pay $30:

Thanks Gary. I found this unit about a half hour ago and sprung for
it. <br>

I'll have to wire up the PPS, but I'm willing to give it a go,
particularly on something that cheap. If I kill it - oh well! No
gotchas in the listing details that I can see, other than
possibility it won't have a battery soldered on, but that can be
overcome as well. <br>
<br>
Yeah, I may have to wait a while for it. I'll live!<br>
