Hi, All this speak of the Garmin GPS18x LVC prompted me to dig out my Garmin receiver and hook it up. I went and downloaded the firmware, connected it to my Windows PC and.... I noticed my receiver is a GPS18 LVC - won't accept the 3.70 firmware. Browsing Garmin's website I found that there's an update from 3.20 (which it currently holds) to 3.30, will this break things? (The link below mentions firmwares up to 3.20 and 3.70 for the GPS18x are ok - should I assume the same for GPS18? ie. not upgrade to 3.30?)
The only thing mentioned in the changelog from 3.20->3.30 is: .Fixed the GPGGA sentence to report the GPS fix quality indication as '6' when the unit is in dead reckoning phase. So not sure it's even worth trying for 'simple' timekeeping use, though. Cheers, Kim -----Original Message----- Ask, Be sure to update the GPS 18x LVC firmware to 3.70, for reasons explained here: http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/Garmin-GSP18x-LVC-firmware-issue.htm On the GPS//PPS systems here, Internet servers have reported offsets of between 3 and 12 milliseconds, 3 ms for a server which is physically local (Edinburgh) and 16 hops away, 12 ms for one in Manchester and 17 hops away. That's on a Virgin Media cable modem connection with 30 Mb/s down and 1 Mb/s up.
