I kinda thought this might be in the receiver but since the subject of GPS outage came up I thought I'd ask. This unit is one of those little dongle units that is powered by the USB bus and uses the SiRF chip set. I have noticed more stationary scatter than with my better receivers so I've suspected the crystal clock from the beginning.
