rm17 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 For most units it says in the manual or specs or whatever info there is that it takes about 15-45 seconds to get a fix. Is this with the reciever being turned on for a while or is this from the time you turn it on it'll take that long. Or do it take like 5 minutes each time you turn it on?? Quote Link to comment
Kerry. Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Out of the box it will take some minutes to properly start up. It will take a minimum of 12.5 minutes to first download a complete almanac then normal startup will be in that 15-45 second time frame (unless one has moved several hunderd miles with the unit off). That 15-45 seconds will be about "normal" (give or take depending) when the unit has been switched for a period like a few hours +, overnight etc. Startup time will normally be shorter than that if say the unit is switched off then back on within a few minutes. 5 minutes all the time then it has got a problem. Cheers, Kerry. I never get lost everybody keeps telling me where to go Quote Link to comment
