In normal operation (post survey), a Z3801A "knows" the location and uses 
that to work out a better time and/or the time with fewer satellites.  So you 
won't be getting any new location data.

It might be interesting to set one up in a loop to do a survey, grab the 
location, then repeat.  After a day or week, you could average the locations 
and/or compute std dev and such.
