It might be eye candy, but is very useful eye candy when coupled with the 
satellite SNR values.  A GPSDO does not NEED any communications to the GPS or 
the outside world,  but EVERY commercial one does support it.  

The GPSDO firmware asks for the sat info from the GPS (so it can show it in the 
SYST:STAT status page) and, if it doesn't get it, it assumes the GPS is 
defective, crawls into a corner, and sobs.
