My Oncore UT+ "timing receiver" claims 25m (w/o SA) position accuracy. 
"Position Hold" (for timing applications) is an _optional_ mode. I 
haven't tried it in my truck (yet), but it should work fine.

BTW, "Jamming Immunity" of the Oncore UT+ (Desgined in ~1996, built in 
2000, discontinued in 2003(?)) is claimed as:

"Immune to the following CW jamming signal levels measured at the input 
to the Oncore Active Antenna when the receiver is in position-hold mode. 
Values are typical:

-50 dBm @ 1570 MHz
-79 dBm @ 1575.42 MHz
-56 dBm @ 1580 MHz"

This is from page 3.10 of the  "Oncore User's Guide; June 1998; Motorola 
TRM0003 Rev 3.2" which I think I got from the synergy-gps.com web site. 
(Thanks for putting these online!)

cheers,

BTW, Timing accuracy of the UT+ is listed as "In position hold mode, 
<50ns (1 sigma) with SA on." Does anyone have claimed or measured values 
for timing accuracry WITHOUT SA?
