    Anyone ever fit an active GPS antenna to a Dell? As in, an antenna that is intended to be DC-biased by a WWAN GPS card (ie: Sierra Wireless MC7xxx) to drive a low-noise amplifier (LNA) at the antenna itself? I'm looking at doing it with a D830, but just wondering if I'm the first, or if someone else has hacked one in?
