Let us know how this is progressing. I am waiting on a TNC connector, so can't 
get mine up and running this weekend as planned.  I'll get my power supply 
sorted out and see if I can get SatStat connected.

Do you know if the GPS input provides a 5v bias to drive an antenna?

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.
