I want to eventually characterize the delay of some amplified
antennas. It's reported that delay varies significantly over
temperature even for geodetic-grade antennas.

It's quite odd at face value, but the Thunderbolt will go into
"overdetermined" mode with only the 1simulated SV.  I just re-checked
this with a Resolution-T, and it does go into OD mode with all but 1
SV masked from cold restart using a real SV.
