Thanks to all of you. I have read 3 answers to my question and it all sounds logical. I have come up with 2 mor questions from what you have said. G B, you said that I should stand still for a few seconds then check my sat. What is my SAT? Scott, you said that I am working with an older reciever. What would you recommend and can I get it locally or does it have to come from either Sendero or Humanware? I love the equipment and it is fun being a "Back seet driver."
