The specified GPS receiver sensitivity of the XT55/56 (GPS software version 2.3) in
tracking mode is related to the ARP (antenna reference point). However, the applied
antenna, the antenna amplifier, the customer application and / or the applied reference
setup might cause variations of the stated receiver sensitivity value.
