uBLOX MAX-M8C Pico GPS Breakout with Chip Antenna
$26.95This is new version of the popular pico break outboard, now with SCL & SDA. The board is assembled with a uBLOX MAX-M8C module, chip antenna and a decoupling capacitors.
This board has VCC, GND and RX & TX, SCL & SDA for I2C.
IMPORTANT : This module has no onboard voltage regulation so a clean regulated 1.8 – 3.6v power is required. If you want to link this to your microcontroller you must ensure it runs at 1.8 to 3.6v on the serial/I2C or you will risk damaging this module. Arduinos/PC Serial generally run at 5V so you will need a level converter.
There is no provision for battery backup (V_BCKUP is hard tied to VCC).
The MAX-8 family delivers all the benefits of the u-blox 8 GPS platform in a more compact form factor than ever before: high-sensitivity, intelligent power management.
MAX comes in an ultra-compact, easy-to-mount 9.7mm x 10.1mm LCC package, and supports temperatures down to -40'C.
Supports temperatures down to -40'C
UART interface.
RTC crystal for faster warm and hot starts
Suitable for HAB Usage Max Altitude 50,000 meters / 164041 feet in Flight Mode.
Supply Voltage 1.8 to 3.6VThis module is designed to be as light as possible, weight is very light at 1.5g

UHF to BNC Adapter
$6.95- Adapts a BNC Female to accept a UHF male connector (PL259).
While UHF connectors are not our favorite at higher frequencies, we also know there are some who will want UHF adapters, so we will sell these for those who want them (see note below *). These will also work fine for the Spyverter.
* Due to the wideband nature of the SDR units, use of UHF connectors is highly discouraged if you intend to use the unit above 500 MHz. Why? UHF connectors act like a brick wall to RF signals at higher frequencies, and we want you to get the most out of your SDR receiver.

Wideband 0.1-4 GHz Preamp
$45.95- Wideband Preamp for general use.
- Fully compatible with Airspy.
- 100% compatible with the Airspy bias-t. (no external power required, but power can be applied via the USB-C connector)
- Approximately 20dB gain.
- Low 0.75dB noise figure (NF).
- Manufacturer's website
- Note: This item was custom made just for Airspy.US.
This is a cost effective SAW based unit which give excellent performance gains.
All Uputronics preamps are compatible with most USB SDR Dongles such as the Airspy. You can power them from either bias tee (This item is 100% compatible with the Airspy bias-tee) or a simple USB minicable (Purchased separately). Bias tee/USB voltage is 5V max.
This unit is a small filter and preamp designed to go between a software defined radio receiver and an antenna. Using a SAW bandpass filter and a low noise amplifier (LNA), it stops out of band intermodulation while providing additional gain for increased sensitivity. The LNA is before the SAW filter. To block strong commercial FM signals a high pass filter is installed before the LNA.
