[time-nuts] Distance between GPS Antennae

[k4cle at aol.com]

Some GPS receivers automatically go into "position hold" mode if less than 1  
mph is detected for several seconds.  However, they usually have a command  
to disable that feature if you search the manual for the command.

Brent,

That's really interesting. It looks like one receiver is in GPS
hold mode (so you would expect the position to remain fixed)
and the other is in a normal 2D or 3D mode. Can you look at
the NMEA logs and tell which is which? Is this the same GPS
receiver I played with (leapsecond.com/pages/MG1613S)?

Thanks,
