2. GPS antenna with pre-amp, magnetic base and SMA connector A magnetic-mount active antenna is supplied with the receiver development kit, along with an RF cable (RG-316) already terminated with the proper connector for the development unit. The nominal measured attenuation of the cable with connectors is approximately 5 dB. The supplied active antenna should be biased at +3 VDC, but a different active antenna with a bias of either +3, +5 or +12 VDC may be used. Refer to section 3.2 to ensu

3.2.3 DIP switch 3 – BOOT from serial mode DIP switch 3 interfaces with the BOOT pad of the module and allows the user to upgrade the Flash memory. For normal operation the switch should be set to off. To boot from the serial port the switch should be set to on. This switch is enabled by the internal switch SW3.3. 3.2.4 DIP switch 4 – GPIO1/W_TICKS input DIP switch 4 interfaces to the GPIO1/W_TICKS pad of the module. The switch is typically off, but has no effect with the standard module’s so
