Bert,
I certainly appreciate all the work that has gone into the latest code. I
learnt a lot from Brook's original (1.33) and modified it to suit my 'peculiar'
hardware. I've only had time for a short look at the latest but I'm sure there
is MUCH to learn here too. A very well written program wi

A lot of that variance is because the position-hold coords are wrong.

Hi Bert,
Thanks for yours and Bob Leichner's time and others for this release. I
bought what was the latest version with AutoN from Brooks in 2010 but will
program a PIC with what you have released to see if there are any
significant differences.
Also a big thank you to Karen her permission
Count me in as well, if you need another participating station. I have
my Thunderbolt running 24/7 with a solid stationary antenna..

My response is Yes, as long as you use the GPS to discipline a good
Oscillator.
GPS on its own is generally capable of about 10 ns of phase error, pretty
much over any time period.
So the longer you average the
Hi Poul:
Once you know the rise and set times (where the signal is stable) in sidereal time for each SV# you can simply
enable/disable them based on time.
I think this may be a better approach than having a mask angle based on each
degree of azimuth.
Keeping track of a rise and set time for ea
Just curious what would a typical use case for this network be ? My limited
understanding of common view GPS in this context is that it can be used for
time (and frequency) transfer between labs.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi
Most modern receivers give you corrections in ps rather than ns. That's not to
say they are *good* to 1 ps. It's not uncommon to see adev (after doing the
correction) running sub 1 ns at one second when compared to a 5071.
Most people seem to do this in runs many minutes long. That's a bit

Dear Fellows,
I recently purchased a pair of Z3805A off eBay seller tommy_chou.
I have fired them up with a MaxRad 26db timing antenna attached to each.
The antennae have a clear view of most of the sky.
The receivers are having no problems seeing enough satellites.

I am experiencing a PU of ~8us for the first and ~24us for the second.

Nope, been there, tried that. Supposedly Trimble had a firmware option for
