[time-nuts] Ebay Huawei Ublox M8T Modules Warning

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Just for the sake of listing all the variations:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ON-SALE-U-BLOX-ublox-LEA-M8T-0-10-HUAWEI-GPS-Timing-Module-Board/333778776570?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 <https://www.ebay.com/itm/ON-SALE-U-BLOX-ublox-LEA-M8T-0-10-HUAWEI-GPS-Timing-Module-Board/333778776570?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649>

Is the M8T on what I would *guess* is the original board. Simply from looking at the picture I think 
you can guess pretty well what’s what on the board.  

Hint: If you buy quite a few …. errr … 10 … there s a pretty good chance that something more than 
20% might get knocked off the price …. I bought a pretty large pile of stuff so it’s not clear if that 
had some impact on what offers got accepted …..

If that’s not your favorite RF connector on the board, there are SMA’s that likely fit in the same footprint.
