Dear knowledgeable readers, I recently acquired a Trimble NetRS GPS receiver (+L1, L2 antenna) with an external 10MHz frequency input. I intend to use it for clock comparison. Are there any caveats to consider for long-term operation of the receiver? Do you have any configuration recommendations to achieve the best results (apart from ensuring a clear sky view)? Thank you for your advice. .md

Hi The “weak link” in the NetRS is the flash memory card. Best to make a copy of it while it’s still working. It may be fine for a very long time. It could fail tomorrow. Config wise, there’s not a lot to the beast. You turn things on and tell it what you want to do. Pull log files, translate them and send them off to NRCan for processing. One “interesting” thing I’ve just started noticing: My NetRS collection has started having dropout periods at certain times of the day. Other GPS receivers on the same antennas do fine. All of the NetRS boxes go out together and come back together. No idea of exactly why ….. (but I do have some suspicions …).
