That's just bogus. First of all, you need four sats for a complete solution: X+Y+Z+T, second the more sats you add after that, provided they do contribute gainfully, will improve both the position and time solutions, for the very simple reasons that they are one and the same solution. Once you go to position-hold mode, all the sats contribute to is the time solution, and in principle one sat is enough to get a solution, because, as the name implies, you stop treating X+Y+Z as variables. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
