UniTraq has agreed to send me a SkyTraq+CP-2012 GPS with 1PPS to DCD connected. I think this will be blue-wired, but the company rep seems a bit confused about what is going on and I think she may have misunderstood her engineers - she said there was "no room in the enclosure for another PCB trace" and they'd have to send me a bare board. I told her that's OK for a test unit but we'll need the production version to be enclosed. Both companies seem actively interested in fabricating a production version. Plane Jane is looking pretty promising. -- Eric S. Raymond
