Timeline Jupiter GPS receivers questions

To all,
I was wondering if anyone could answer the following concerning the
Timeline Jupiter Zodiac Receivers:

1. What is the default output for the NMEA $GPRMC "Ground Speed and Speed
Type Fields ? Are these output in m/s, knots, or km/hr and can this be
changed somehow through the PWRIINIT message ?

2. Has anyone had any luck making any sense out of the Rockwell Binary
protocols for configuring the receiver ? I would like to be able to change
the datum reference.

Thanks again for any assistance.
Regards,
John

    Have you been able to find an antenna yet? Any info that you have would be
    of great aid. Youn send it off line if it is to much info. Any source code
    or diagrams on how you have it setup would be of great aid.

    I believe they are m/s - pretty sure mine is anyway

    parse it out
    multiply by conversion factor
    display value

    havent yet messed with binary - but I want to - to get use of the 9600 baud
