Actually the Palisades driver doesn't send commands to the Thunderbolt. It
sends a single invalid command requesting auto messages and then parses the
data stream. As long as primary timing packets are received it works. A
Thunderbolt will wake up doing the right thing and if not I believe LH will
correctly initialize it.
The deeper point is correct and the Trimble devices I have experience with
have ~100ms of jitter.
Props to Jackson Labs -- my Fury has O(10) microseconds of jitter using
NMEA messages. If only they were $100.
