[time-nuts] Nav Receiver Sawtooth Correction?

Hi Ignacio,
Thanks for the response. I've got a UT+ in the parts box. But that's not the problem I'm trying to solve. I'm trying to make the best GPSDO that I can make using a nav receiver at the moment. Call it an obsession if you like. It's OK if I don't have corrections to the nanosecond for each PPS. But I can see the nav receiver wandering around; especially on cloudy days, (the antenna is in the attic, so that's about the best I can do for that) and it just seems to me that I should be able to do a general correction for nav position errors. Sorry if my naive posts are starting to get on people's nerves.
Bob
