[time-nuts] GPS receiver testing

[John Lofgren]

Thank you to all of the respondents.  There is a lot of great information in the replies.  Based on more interaction with our customer it's looking like we may need to send the unit(s) out to a facility that specializes in this area.

Best regards,

John

There's folks at JPL who do this kind of thing all the time.. I'll ask 
who you should contact..  It kind of matters on what you're testing for, 
but I'm sure there's someone who can point you in the right direction.
