Yes. The pending leap second has me very scared. It is the Y2k bug of 2008. :-)
Sorry, that is a tilde, not a negative sign. Meant as "approximately" 791 meters, although I may be using it completely wrong. The real value (mean average) is 790.83 meters for the Sure Electronics GPS.
Sorry for the confusion.

Both are fed from the same GPS antenna through a symmetricom splitter. There is a 30 meter difference in the altitude readings between the two. My tbolt says my altitude (after a self-survey) is ~761 meters and the 12 channel Sure Electronics GPS says my altitude is ~791 meters after 7,500+ readings. I took my hand held Garmin 12XL outside and it says my altitude is ~790 meters at street level.
