And then all that can be done is lock the oscillator to a solution derived
from the birds... this can explain why a receiver can fail to correctly
lock an oscillator or give a strange PPS. That is, it is possible, in case
of  errors, to have, for example, a PPS displaced by 1mS but state that the
solution is good.
