Don't forget the Z3816A and the Z3805A.  Both are seen with 24 VDC and 110
VAC options.  The Z3816A (8 sats) has a DB9 RS232 port and the Z3805A (12
sats) has a DB25 RS232 port and both require a Null Modem adapter or cable.

A Z3801A runs off 48V.  Some are 24V.  I doubt if you will find one for
$200. 
 EBay has one for $500 and another for $1000.

A Trimble Thunderbolt needs +12, +5, and +12.  EBay has one for $110 and 2 
more for $250.

In both cases, round up for an antenna.

Neither the Z3801A nor the TBolt are setup to power the oven while the reset

of the setup is powered down.
