Murray,
If the gps hasn't been turned on in a while, it will need to download a new ephemeris. With the new ephemeris, it can
find it position much faster because it will know pretty close where the satellites are, and how much to offset the
tracking code. I left the unit on for about an hour, but without the enable light, I suspect it was just idling waiting
for commands.

I am using a Garmin marine GPS antenna. I was under the impression the
unit would track on it's own, and the software was just for monitoring and
fine tuning.
If it's like the Z3801A, it probably "knows" where it was last located and is
having troubles trying to make sense out of the signals it's receiving in its
new home.
You need to tell it to do a survey.
