PPS essential if you're using Spectrum Lab or vlfrx-tools.

The GPS that I use these days is this one

After some arithmetic and comparison with other signals,
I reckon that if you can muster 40uW, it will be possible
to decode messages at 8277 Hz here the UK, and 20uW would be
enough for a carrier detection.    That assumes a suitably
precise oscillator.
