Jason & Rob, When using suboptimal antenna siting, do not expect stellar GPS performance. Tracking satellites is good, but it says nothing about how bad multipath environment your antenna/receiver is subjected to. -- Björn On Mon, March 19, 2007 19:12, Rob Kimberley said: > Jason, > > I'm using 4 VIC-100s inside, under a flat concrete roof in my single > story office.
