We have a smart antenna where the receiver is in the antenna housing and the link to the timing receiver is digital over coax. On that, we can run a variant of DTI (DocSis Timing Interface) which calibrates the cable delay automagically. Not sure what the original question was but yes, it's possible.

How would you do that? The obvious way is to compare the time you get with a known-good time, but if you had that, why would you want this new GPS with an unknown cable length. You might be able to do it by measuring the DC drop. Getting enough accuracy seems tough. -- These are my opinions.
