John, I have two Z3801 receivers with two HP cone antennas about 4 feet apart and just below the peak of the shallow roof. I live in a valley with a good view to the west, otherwise surrounded by hills and trees.
I used SatStat to raise the horizon to 30 degrees, and had no trouble with the survey. Tell your Z3801 about your real horizon angle.

Due to a not so great view of the sky here at work, it took a couple of hours to complete. Afterwards,everything seemed OK. (I am not at all familiar with the Tbolt.) Next, I hooked up my Z3801 to the same antenna and it keeps giving me the same message: Survey aborted due to poor geometry. I even swapped out the trusty Matsushita antenna for one of those Andrew/Motorola antennas you see on cellsites to no avail. Is the Z3801 normally so picky? It was seeing 4 satellites, same as the Tbolt. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
