Yo Gary!
  Do you have recommendations for a replacement that will drop in as time 
keeping sources?  I have 5 Garmins that have been keeping time for my 
offline networks for years and years, one has decided to be afflicted by 
the week rollover.  I don't really want to spend the time and energy to 
redo the wiring, just replace the receiver unit; so something with either 
the stupid Garmin testing connector (JST 06B-SRSS, I have boards with FETs 
on the PPS line that mate to this connector) or DB-9 + USB for power, with 
the PPS on the DCD pin.  I worked a bit a few months ago with a Beaglebone 
Black and Adafruit GPS hat/cape, but couldn't get the PPS to register (was 
planning to move to simple little time servers, vs. now the GPSes are 
feeding full PC based servers that have other tasks as well).
                                                Many thanks,
                                                  Steve
