Mobility Site - View Single Post - NEED GPS utility to measure ALL satellite signal strength below 26db

Thanks for the info

Since you have the Fortuna I suppose you could test it this way... if you were really interested hehe.

Leave it in ST mode until it loses a signal. Then switch it to XT mode to see if it can re-acquire that signal.

I suppose this would only work walking since you would have to stop and reset.

If you have the time it would be nice to see some real-world examples of where XT really does help over ST mode.

Of course if we could just see the signal strength of ALL satellites in view (not just the ones over 26db strength) then we could make that determination for ourselves.

But someone would have to write a new program...
