A receiver terminal receives a frequency from an external reference oscillator portion, which is more accurate than that of a frequency generated within the receiver in a local oscillator portion. The frequency from the local oscillator portion is measured using the external frequency as the reference, which determines the error in the local oscillator frequency relative to the external reference and permits the local oscillator frequency to be corrected to within the error of the external oscillator frequency. A plurality of candidate values for the remaining local frequency error are selected within a predetermined frequency range to include any remaining error of the local oscillator frequency. The received signal from a satellite is correlated with a matching pseudorandom code to detect the signal and measure the signal delay and Doppler shift of the signal relative to the corrected local oscillator frequency. The delay value is used to obtain a pseudorange measurement and the measured Doppler shift permits further correction to the local oscillator frequency, thus reducing the frequency search range for the remaining satellites.
