Ah, I didn't realize this was based on the Trimble board - I was
having a mental seizure and thinking it was using a Motorola OnCore,
as so many of the others did.  Are you really sure it is an SV6?
Trimble also made an SV8 timing that was in the same form factor  and
if it was using that it would certainly explain why you sometimes see
more than 6 satellites - although I have a vague memory that if you
talk to it as if it was a 6-channel board it starts pretending to be
one for reasons of backwards compatibility, so even if you do have the
SV8 in there it likely won't do you much good.

Next time I have the unit open I will take a look. Are there obvious markings to distinguish the boards (it's a board and not a box), as I recall looking but no seeing any.

As the unit is only required for frequency, I am not intending to modify it. It has OCXO with quite good specifications, so it will more than meet my needs. It would likely meet my needs five minutes after being switched on!

True, but this is time-nuts.  The pursuit of more accuracy than you
need is the whole purpose of the list :)

Yes, I know! Sad, but 10 Hz at 150 MHz and PCs to within a few microseconds will do me nicely!

Cheers,
David
