I have mine set up at home as well, using OP2. The process was relatively easy, and the issue about measurements needing to be in whole meters was explained very clearly in the manual.
I also noticed it takes a long while to get a fix. That may be due to the fact it doesn't have a clear view of the sky, but my Moitessier HAT's antenna is right beside it and it gets a fix a lot faster.
I have tested transmission, and my MarineTraffic station didn't pick it up (it's in a different plane ~5 meters almost directly above, so there might be some signal propagation issues here), but a passing ship did (apparently some ships have MarineTraffic base stations too), so I'll call that a success.
I also get relatively good reception for where it's located.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with it, so it'll come aboard the boat this spring.
