You can easily check the 5V by measuring at the open antenna plug. When 
plugging the antenna, total current consumption should increase by about 
10mA or so.

>> Hi,
>>
>> I've got a Z3805 from one of the Chineese sources and had problems with the HP 11801 oscillator which came with it. Even after a couple of weeks operartion it was moving vast EFC voltages with the 'Holdover Uncertainty Predict' reaching a lowest of 19uS.
>>
>> So I tried the HP oscillator from my Z3801 in the Z3805 and the daily EFC change is back to a resonable level, but after 5 days of settling down, the 'Holdeover Uncertainy Predict' has only got down to 10uS.and is holding about that value.
>>
>> Could some one please advise what figures they are getting. As there's something sticking in my mind that the whole system should be lower than 6.3uS after 3 days of locked operation. Or have I been dreaming.....
>>
>> I have attached a JPG of my GPSCon graph, hope it helps

>> thanks&  73s
