This is correct, except that you need *four* satellites. Your receiver clocks are not perfectly synchronised with the satellite clocks, so you have four unknowns, XYZ and T (time). With 4 observations, you can solve for the user receiver clock offset to GPS time. With more satellites in view, you can compute some statistics to give you a handle on the accuracy ( precision plus reliability) being achieved. Rob
