Hi, There are other, more qualified people who should answer your questions, but until they get around to it, let me give you some pointers to read up upon. First of all, you probably want to read [1] and [2]. Especially the latter does explain the effects of the different noise types and how

OK, go figure, after resetting the loopback jumpers it came alive with a green light, GPS time is ok, still not presenting a satellite on the LH display but it must be seeing something to have the time correct. Interesting project all along. > On Nov 15, 2017, at 12:03 PM, Jerry Hancock

Hi At some very basic level, the GPSDO needs to decide when to go into or come out of holdover. That decision often involves initial setup of the GPS module and subsequent monitoring of the module. The risk in swapping modules is always tripping over an obscure IF statement somewhere that does
