Time-nuts!
A while back there was a discussion of cheap Chinese GPS survey
antennas.
I purchased a TOPGNSS model GN-GGB0710.. Took about a month to
arrive. They claim GPS L1 L2 GLONASS G1 G2 BDS B1 B2 B3 and Galileo.
I bought it on aliexpress for $75 inc. shipping.

Specs are here:

Antenna connection is a simple TNC connector and mounts on a standard
5/8-11 thread. They say 3.3 to 18V. I'm running it on 5V.
Construction quality seems fine. Just as in the picture.
After a few hours of use I can say it is a nice little antenna. I
seem to be getting good strong L1, L2, L5 and GALILEO signals on all
elevations and azimuths.
A gross comparison to my Trimble 22020 shows the two as roughly
comparable. Except I get stronger GALILEO on the TOPGNSS. I have no
way to push either antenna to the limit.
Many thanks to the list for some fine product suggestions. Add this
one to the list.
