Hi
Consider what your automotive GPS receiver does coming out of a tunnel or out from under
a bunch of trees. It still needs to work correctly in that situation. Same thing with
a big rain cloud “over there”. I don’t think you would want a receiver that went nuts in those cases.
I don’t think the military would want one either.
