FWIW and IMAO, this definition of a "total fix" is impractical almost to
the point of uselessness. There will always be some noise in a tightly
packed product incorporating many high frequency sources. The question
is if the noise is significant (as it seems to have originally been).

Referring back a bit, it _is_ nice to hear though that the clock drive
tuning can improve the situation noticably even with SD clock on, should
probably give that a try myself one of these days. (Haven't tested GPS
in a while now, but it _would_ be nice not to have to send my unit in
for service :)

Again, kudos to the team for a job well done on all fronts, sw and hw,
with regard to this issue.
