Charles, 

I thought that value look rather odd. I copied those particular values
directly from the GPSlim236 User Guide in the 40docs.zip.

Hi Kevin,
I think you have a typo in your statement on the Holux Slim 236 Its
receiving satellite signal strength is Minimum signal tracked: -159dBW

The M-1000
Minimum signal tracked : -159dBm
Bluetooth input sensitivity: -85dBm

So the satellite signal strengths are identical.

The biggest difference is the chipset being used the MTK MT3318 vs the Sirf
III for the Slim236 and the # of channels to track satellites 32 vs 20 for
the Slim236.
