Hi Bob,

The raw data has a sawtooth pattern due to millisecond clock jumps
[1], but TimeLab unwraps it and they happen more frequently than the
frequency jumps.
I redid the the experiment using the same receiver (pink trace) and
another LEA-6T (green trace), there were no frequency jumps. SBAS was
enabled in the old measurements (blue trace). I'm not sure if that
explains it, but the manual does not recommend SBAS for timing.
