[aprssig] Dayton meltdown.

[J. Lance Cotton]

The biasing exists only to power the pre-amp in the receiving antenna. 
Otherwise, what is being described is two antennas with some coax between 
them. Which works fine for most applications. It's just that GPS relies on 
timing differentials, which this setup mangles.
