In itself this is true, but be careful. It may be that your old receiver consumes so much energy and has so much valuable material in it that it would actually be better to get a new one and recycle this old one. I have old GPS receivers and they are quite power-hungry, insensitive, and have a small number of active satellites. New receivers are much better, except maybe in the PPS department. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
