Your approches and points are very good and it seams you are on the right track. I dont suppose you are into software development and could start to write some test applications?

Also remember unless your gps unit is running hacked firmware the best lock on the unit you will get is anyware up to 15 feet at best.
Is that just because you are modifying the EPE? Do you have some hard facts on this? I have been involved with the system from way back and have never heard of a firmware hack that actually improved the positional accuracy of commercial units. Improving (actual) psitional accuracy requires a couple things and last I checked a hacked firware was not on the list. I have however had EPE's of under 7 feet with a WAAS enabled unit and stock firmware. But EPE's really mean dick, actual performance is the real test.

edit: corrected spelling
