Erik,
I think I ended up with the second-to-last Mini-T from the same seller!
Trimble's official documentation for the module is pretty lackluster,
especially with respect to pin 5, 'V Antenna'.
Are you familiar with Trimble's Visual Timing Studio? It's a pretty capable
tool for working with Trimble's timing products, and available free. I have
used it with my UCCM in TSIP mode, and given that the Mini-T and the UCCM
have the exact same architecture, I imagine Visual TIming Studio would work
with the Mini-T as well, even though the Mini-T isn't mentioned in the
release notes for VTS.

It is now on the bench for some first testing.
There was some confusion about the antenna supply on the molex plug but
its just going straight to the antenna plug as bias so supplying 3.3V
was all that was needed to use a cheap amplified puck antenna.
Lady Heather recognizes the Mini-T as a mini Thunderbold.
The OCXO on the PCB is (as expected) sensitive to external temperature
changes so putting the Mini-T in a case with extra temperature shielding
seems to be a must.
Now I need to study Lady Heather to find out all the things it can report.
Erik.
