Mark has explained previously on the list, but it is actually kind of convoluted. The command to set the position does not accept enough numeric precision to accurately set the position which was determined from long term averaging, so LH causes the Thunderbolt to run short self surveys (which report the position to more numeric digits than the set command will allow you to set), and compares the reported position to the position derived from the long term average. When one of the self survey results just happens to be within some small error of the determined position, then that self survey result is saved. So if you manually set the position on a second Thunderbolt, the software will chop off the lower order digits of the number you give, and the two thunderbolts could have very slightly different performance, even running from the same antenna. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
