ASHTECH A12 GPS Module Broken?

So I grabbed an Ashtech A12 GPS module off ebay. For 10 dollars seemed like a great deal. I hooked it up to my usb to ttl cable. I’ve been getting the same two lines and its missing any significant data. Not sure whether its broken or the antenna I patched together is the issue.
