 The [[http://www.falcom.de/products/gps-modules/fsa03/|Falcom FSA03]] is an inexpensive Ublox 5 ([[http://www.u-blox.com/en/gps-chips/stand-alone-gps-chips/u-blox-5-chipset-ubx-g5010.html|UBX-G5010]]) GPS module with a small footprint which featuring the Sarantel quadrifilar helix antenna.
+Although still available this unit is end of life.
 Ublox modules are capable of operating above 60,000 feet, provided they are configured and placed in airborne mode. The FSA03 does not include any EEPROM or Flash memory, and as such is unable to retain settings unless its RAM is buffered by backup battery. The module should be programmed with UBX whenever power has been lost to place it in airborne mode.
