Since I could not put the Logic Analyzer on the USB connection I switched to
using the Serial Port.  On Windows and RaspberryPi a serial port is being
used not USB.

Which configuration parameter do you want?

Back up a few.  So you are running StrSrv into the receiver serial port, but
gps is connecting to the USB port?

I noted before that the defaults for the u-blox serial port and USB port are
not the same.  I asked before for you to send us the u-blox config for those
ports.

Seems as important now as before.

The two tests use different ports on the receiver.

Also, without the raw data back from receivers in both tests there is no way
for anyone to confirm what you think you see.

I doubt it, but easy to see.  Look in driver_ubx.c, ubx_cfg_prt()

Start gpsd with "-b".
