GPS Time observation
by Vince Fiscus, KB7ADL 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

I have an old GPS unit, a Magellan explorist 210. It's fairly accurate determining position. After it has acquired about eight to ten satellites the position error averages between 20 to 35 feet. Now the question, the other day I was looking at one of the information pages the unit can display and on it, it gives the time in UTC. Just for fun I thought I would see how close the time was to WWV. I was surprised to see the unit was between one to four seconds off over various tests compared to WWV. IS this typical of all GPS units or do some display the time of day more accurately? KB7ADL

SatPC32 rotor question
by Dave Webb KB1PVH 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

I had this question posted to me, and I can't seem to figure out if it is possible. >.I want my rotator to stop at about 85 Deg elevation and not go to 90 , 100 , 110 etc etc but to rotate on its asmith by >180 deg and then start to drop elevation from 85 Deg.. I know that the rotor interface unit, ERC can be limited via it's service tool software, but I wasn't sure how SatPC32 would react to the interface unit limiting it. Dave - KB1PVH
