Hal,
Thanks, this had me look closer at the outputs and not all RS232 chip breakout boards shift all signals, it seems to be 4-6 lines at most.
I've seen some MAX3232 (RS232 to TTL) converters, but the better ones only shift Rx, Tx, CTS, RTS, VCC and GND.
If I read what was suggested here earlier correctly, I need DCD for the PPS signal and Rx, Tx for NMEA.
I plan to use this with pfsense/gpsd which lets you choose between rising and falling edge for PPS signal processing.
I'll go ahead and order https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11189 as it appears to do all RS232 signals and can handle voltages > 5V.
Thank you all again!
