Multipath rejection, antenna selectivity, antenna amplifier gain, 
antenna noise factor... all weigh in. Even for a simple Thunderbolt.

Several of us have carrier phase and dual frequency receivers. I have 
several myself. I lack a good double-frequency antenna, choke-ring with 
sufficient amplifier gain.
