Try doing the same test again while both receivers are placed (at least temporarily) on the roof of the car. You will likely get at least 8 or 9 satellites on both receivers when in an open space (not among tall buildings, etc).
Well, guess eBay can lie to you
I tried again today in a parking lot with both units on the roof (close to the passenger door, as thats all the cabling would allow). The GlobalSat picked up 8, while the Holux never picked up anything. At one point it had 2 locks, but those dropped out again. The Holux has done me well at certain times, but it just seems to fail when I need it most. You can argue the case that its just a bad unit, but for me, iGuidance doesnt lie
