How to configure WBX+USRP1 to work as a GPS receiver

Hi All,
Does anyone have any idea to configure WBX + USRP1 to work as a GPS
receiver? Is there any jumper on the WBX daughterboard that can be set
up to
power the external active GPS antenna (2.5-5V DC)?

Thanks a lot.

The WBX does not have a DC Bias Tee built in, so you will have to
provide it in your cabling. If you would like a built in DC Bias Tee
for GPS work the DBSRX has one.

There a external ones you can buy cheaply, intended for satellite TV:
