Sorry if these comments are a bit naive, but this is my first exposure to a Z38xx.
I've got mine powered on and connected to the antenna. After referring to Stewart's original post (once again) I've managed to download HP's SATSTAT and get it running. When I connected to the REF-1 unit (with the receiver) all I get is comms errors. But when I connect to REF-0, Satstat seems quite happy. It's reporting the unit as a Z3812A. Is REF-0 the only one you can connect to, or is REF-1 mute till it's happy with the GPS receiver? The mode says "Power-Up: GPS Acquisition", so I guess that's OK. I think things are progressing. It's attempting to survey, but reporting "Suspended: poor geometry". I suppose with a little more time this will work itself out? It seems to be slowly tracking more sats, as it's now up to 5. I wonder if there's a way to shortcut the survey process using Satstat? I've got a 48 hour survey done on this antenna with the LEA-6T, so I should be able to input those figures, right? I'll see if I can find anything in a Satstat manual I found.
