As I recall there is more to it than just the number of satellites.
involved. Also factored in to all the math is the signal strength of the
sats plus there relative angles to your spot on the earth. If all three
are directly overhead the solution is not that accurate compared to if
they were all at 45 degree elevation at widely divergent compass points
gives a much more accurate solution . Likely the math / firmware has a
quality factor built in depending on all the above factors not just the
number of sats
My memory on this may be faulty (the older I get the more bytes that
seem to get dropped) And if it is faulty I am sure others will be more
than happy to correct me

Ok, I give up....
I've been logging this with Lady H and was watching again this afternoon as
the sat count dropped but this time there was no dropping into holdover as the
number of sats dropped from four to three....damn, it just carried on doing its
thing until the count went up again:-)
I'm still seeing the occasional reported random holdover event but am still no
nearer to knowing why.
Otherwise it's a nice unit and does handle the holdover well, even a longer
event yesterday whilst there was a supposed antenna fault didn't reflect into
the frequency plots, but time to call a halt for now.
