Hi Indeed a radome may distort the antenna pattern. In teh case of DIY projects the trick that most can apply is to take a piece of the radome material and put it into a microwave own. If it doesn't get hot it is OK for most DIY cases. Infinion have some nice GNSS MMICs e.g. BGA924N6

Hi Besides the RF characteristics it may also be worth considering the quality of the plastics used. Over time water ingress may become an issue. Fours years after the installation of a CN brand antenna, sourced locally so probably not counterfeit either, we had to replace it at OZ7IGY www.oz7i

Hi OK I will try out to see what Lady Heather can do for me. However, I use a MCU for reading the GPS and not all the time so perhaps I have to change this. Björn can you remember something about the reason for the behavior? Thanks Bo ___ time-nuts m

Hi List Like many of you I also use a Navman Jupiter TU30 in a GPSDO. Besides the 10 kHz used for the PLL I also have a display showing time. But since a couple of years, Jan 15?, the time sometimes jumps -1 s and and then later returns by jumping +1 s Please see an example of the latter below:
