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

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.
