To an extent. You can get previous generation GNSS receivers with sawtooth correction for cheap, eBay is full of those, say an old Trimble Resolution whatever, and lots of LEA-6T carrier boards going for $20-range, and bare modules for less. I would trust those carrier boards more though, less chance of getting a fake module.
- nullc 1y agoThe timing receivers often have other advantages beyond just sawtooth, including stuff like being able to produce a time pulse with a single working satellite in view once their position is learned.
- wowczarek 1y agoShould have clarified: previous generation timing receivers. Yes, self-survey + stationary mode + O/D mode where you can track a single SV and such, are essential for stable time sync, not just sawtooth. There is an exception re. sawtooth, but only a recent one: the Furuno GT-100, priced between the ZED-F9T and the Mosaic-T, has 200 ps clock resolution and doesn't even provide a quantisation error output.
- RossBencina 1y agoGreat, thanks. For anyone following along at home, LEA-6T reports the time pulse error in picoseconds in the TIM-TP message. See "11 Timepulse" on page 26, and/or search for "TIM-TP" in the product spec: https://content.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/documents/u-blox6_ReceiverDescrProtSpec_%28GPS.G6-SW-10018%29_Public.pdf https://content.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/docu... There are cheap LEA-8MT on eBay too, especially if you have a method to pull the module off a scrap board fragment.
