Ok I had a chance this afternoon to do a run with two iPAQ one a 3870, and one a 3970. Both were using Orinoco cards, and both were in the front of an Aerostar about 6' to 7' apart. I had two sound files so I could tell which one had a hit. I was expecting both to get the same hits.

Now I have the impression that the 3870 got hits faster than the 3970. This is mostly based on the sound files, and when I heard them. But it seems to me if I can hear a difference in when they start to play, we are talking a lot of computer time. The 3870 was not always faster, some where to close to call. But in many cases the 3870 seem to be faster than the 3970.

I'd like to use the log files to compare time, but I think the log file time stamp is based on the PPC time and not the GPS time stamp. So is anyone aware of a utility to set the PPC time from the GPS?

Any one else tried more than one Stumbler running in the same car?

Thanks
Grey
