A 50nF Cap should do just fine. Little smaller/bigger probably ok as well. Size? A small ceramic should be fine. After all we are not expecting KW. Hmmm... I wonder what the power output of a GPS sat is? Is that classified? Even if it is, if I know it's height I can probably figure it out. Estima

I did eventually get an SMC connector. However, I may take a look at converting it later, to eliminate the extra 5V supply. Did you have to remove the circuit board from the metal housing to make the mod? If so, that would make it much more difficult. > The PCB is the same for both models. > >
