Still, since the noise comes from the side or below and the signal comes from above you could improve the reception by having the antenna located high up and above some shielding. Also, GPS's greatest weakness - the fact that it doesn't penetrate buildings very well, forcing you to deploy an outdoor antenna - becomes a strength here. Most computers are in buildings, and any GPS-band interference will be trapped inside. So unless you are trying to get GPS reception indoors, and the noisy computer is your own, you are in much better shape than the WWV or WWVB clients. They often have to deal with interference sources that are between them and the transmitter they want. ---- Michael Deutschmann <mich...@talamasca.ocis.net> _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
