Bob-
 For cheap, DeLuo selling the SiRF modules. They will sell bare modules, no
case, with onboard patch antenna and/or external antenna socket. I've never
seen a "1.4 wave gps antenna" only patches and such, not sure what you mean.

 For low power, the Garmin 18, which uses 1/2 the power of the DeLuo. That's
a huge difference.

DeLuo also are somewhat disorganized, unable to supply cables, etc., and
their modules need a metric wire connector--not readily found here--unless
you plan to solder directly to them.
