It is also not uncommon to see serious tempcos on the delay
through the chip.

This is one major source of wander in the "remote" style GPS
receivers, where the signal is wired down with RS232 or RS422.

It's a bit hard to quantify or measure this:  If you put the receiver
in an temp-chamber, it won't receive anything and if you measure
it over a year, you need a Cs to measure against.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
