The -18 does indeed work well, I wrote a post about it a few weeks ago. The serial/pps/power cable is really thin, so thin that it was very easy to simply put the gps outside on the (metallic) window sill, then close the window on top of the cable with no bad effects. I.e. I have an outside antenna placement without having to drill any holes in the wall. :-) Terje -- - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
