I don't necessarily agree with that last statement. It would depend on the receiver type and the number of SVs being tracked.

Are you moving around in areas with little obstruction for the GPS antenna towards the sky?

Does motion cause increased jitter? Tilting/accelerating your GPS oscillator might possibly yield an effect. Other than that there is no theoretical advantage keeping your receiver stationary. All its measurements are done against satellites moving at ca 4km/s. -- Björn _______________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________ 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.
