a) Hit s then s again in LH. (survey) b) something else caused red light (bad osc?)
Adjust unit to correct UTC and co-ords may speed up. Where is the screen shot? --marki -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Bob Camp Sent: Sunday, 8 September 2013 3:44 AM To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] New NTBW50AA Hi If it's trying to get a position *and* it goes below 4 sats due to antenna location, it will go to the red light mode. Once it's got a position it will hold in there with one sat. The modern nav GPS's are much more sensitive than the older GPSDO's, so you will need a better antenna location for them than for a new hand held.
