Said, Yeah, that sounds about right. Whatever it is, it's WAAAY down in the noise, but it sure LOOKS good on a data sheet.
I had a similar problem several years ago where we were in danger of losing a sale because the competing receiver (Raytheon Marine) was "so much more stable" according to the customer. He was absolutely right. Of course, if you put the unit in a dragster and ran a 6 second 1/4 mile the GPS still thought it was looking at the Christmas Tree lights at the starting line when you were finished and putting the dragster back in the trailer... It was so heavily filtered it almost behaved like it was in position hold mode.

Yeah, let's get 1.8cm resolution on the fifth digit! bye, Said Said, Yeah, I meant to mention that. You really just need to parse on the commas and then figure out what was in between them. I have seen 2, 3, 4, and 5 place precision on varying receivers. I have to laugh at the marketing weenie who thought 5 place precision would help him sell standard, non-differential positioning receivers. Actually, advertising 5 place precision probably DID sell units to the technically challenged. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
