Thanks for the replies.
Yes it's definitely 5V from the receiver.
That advice re the pipe mount sounds good - that will be the next step!

Hi,

This type needs 5 V and most pucks are designed for 3.3 V . According
to the manual the VP sends 5 V to the antenna but anyway it is easy to
measure.

Old doesn't necessarily mean it sips power. Power consumption is based
on "buckets of charge" shuffled through the chips. Older processes have
more capacitance, hence bigger buckets for the same amount of work.
Further, notebooks have all the power saving features that are causing

Cache misses are nanosecond level events not tens of microseconds. If

My guess on the original question is that keeping the CPU busy puts junk into
the cache so the whole interrupt processing path takes every possible cache
miss. NTP doesn't care how fast that code is as long as it's consistent.

Good work!
There was some discussion on this here a while back. I had issues with bad
reflections and wanted to know if there was a possibility of creating a

do just that. The links however ended in a dead end.

How do you know it is coming from a specific direction? There is a
