Maybe we should consider a group buy. With all the FE 5680A purchases it
would make sense to combine them with a good GPS receiver and a digital loop.
Since there a uP's out there that have timing functions that will be a low
cost  simple solution with only a few external components. A $ 2 PIC or
some other uP  along with a $ 1 G/A will also do.
Rb GPS digital loop all for $ 100!!!  I do not think we can do better  than
that.

Where  can you get a LEA-6T for $ 65?

Send a mail to u-blox sales. Single  pieces in the online shop are...
Well, expensive. But if you buy them from  sales as engineering samples,
you get quite a lot cheaper.

Sorry,  cannot give you the exact number as i'm not sure whether
that information  is under NDA.
(Yes, it's a strange world we live in)

But as a  reference point, i bought one surplus LEA-6T from someone who
bought a  "bigger" lot (couple dozen devices) for 50CHF.

I could handle such a group buy. How many people would be interested?

The price breaks u-blox has are IIRC 1-50, 50-100,...
