I use Garmin 18 for this purpose.  It's like 80 dollars and it's smaller than a 
hockey puck.  It includes GPS, antenna, and RS232 like interface.  You MUST get 
LVD version.  USB version and PC version does not have 1 second PPS output.  
It's quite sensitive.  It's magnetic, so I stuck it on top of 18" rack and it's 
been running well for few years.

 Hi

Assuming you can get a good sky view for the GPS / GNSS device, that’s about 
all you need. Feed it into whatever computer you decide to use and move on. The
OCXO is simply a power hungry “non contributor” in this case.
