See how easy it is!!!!!!

Yes, we're all aware that experimental satellite NTS-2
had onboard the capability to change frequencies.

The point is, no such rate adjustment has been
included in GPS satellites since experiments with
NTS-2 verified the GPS correction, and there is no
"rate correction" done to GPS satellites because
they do not have the capability.

Instead, the adjusted frequency is hardwired at manufacture
time, before launch, and never changed.

That's of no importance.

The clock can run at any rate as long as it's a known one.
A simple conversion is carried out at the receiver.

How will the receiver know how much to correct by if you don't know what
the
rate is?

Yes .. run away little coward. You just can't handle the physics involved
and so you "plonk" when you are defeated.
