Is it possible to monitor the status of GNSS lock over time?

    Yes, you can use NodeRed or some other product to connect to the radio and send a

    sub gps all

    (subscribe to all gps messages)

    They look like this:

    S0|gps lat=44.456045#lon=-78.123045#grid=FN04aa#altitude=240 m#tracked=12#visible=30#speed=0 kts#freq_error=-1 ppb#status=Fine Lock#time=14:46:20Z#track=0.0

    The messages come every second, so you can then track them for any varience.

    You could likely use Python or NodeRed and build some cool graphs.

    I'm reasonably comfortable with Python, but late to the NodeRed party.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
