Hi Bob, (Yahoo let me down again and I responded only to you. Here is my reply again.)
OK, it sounds like something that would not be clearly noticeable with the equipment I have. I haven't run many multi-day tests, so that's another handicap on this end. Still developing and testing, but things are looking better than the last time I spoke about my unit. thanks, Bob ________________________________ From: Bob Camp <[email protected]> To: Bob Stewart <[email protected]>; Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2014 8:50 PM Subject: Re: [time-nuts] "GPS once a day issues" ? Hi The GPS constellation repeats roughly once a day. It is not at all uncommon to have a “worst case” sattelite geometry for a given antenna location. If you have one, it will repeat once a day and show up as a bump in the timing out of your GPS module. If you track long term data, it will / may / can keep you from getting to the sort of stability you would expect in the 100,000 second range. It’s one of the main reasons that things like GPSD-Rb’s lock up with time constants much longer than 100K seconds. Yes having a Cs or something similar helps a lot looking for this sort of thing.
