Magnus,

Thanks for the Z3801A report. So far you're doing
all the right things.

There are some commands to force it to enter
survey mode, which you'll want to enable so it
doesn't operate in position hold mode at the old
location. Read through your documentation and
look for commands like:
    :ptime:gpsystem:position:survey once
    :diag:gps:utc 1
    :syst:preset

You may need to power cycle to get some of
these to take hold. Or it could have already
been taken care of for you by the previous
owner.

You may find it easier to use the Z3801A to
make once a week or even once a month
changes to your Rb rather than operating the
Rb as some sort of continuously disciplined
oscillator.
