[time-nuts] Ublox 8T

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

I think the key point is:

*IF* somebody wants to do a layout using the M8T, Bert already *has* a 
“known good” PCB layout footprint in his inventory of useful stuff. Since
the uBlox is a really odd part, you aren’t going to find that footprint built 
into the standard layout programs.
