[time-nuts] TruePosition GPS Receiver firmware

[Tom Miller]

Maybe I have a problem unit but I measured the supply to the antenna at 3.7 
volts. I have a 5 volt antenna and it still receives sats at the lower 
voltage. Anyone else check this supply?  I wonder if it is a settable 
parameter?

Regards,
Tom
