Yo Gary,

reading the docs and especially your explanation was very useful.

Many thanks.

Ok, this I didn't realise. Now is everything clear.  Is this
described anywhere? I didn't see it. But probably it is.
As I said, it is decribed in this doc:

     ZED-F9P_InterfaceDescription_(UBX-18010854).pdf'

This gives an overview, but it not very clear:

     Section 5.3 Configuration Layers

The bit mask is described here:

     3.10.26 UBX-CFG-VALSET (0x06 0x8a)

Note that VALGET behaves differently:

     3.10.26 UBX-CFG-VALSET (0x06 0x8a)

I understand, "0" as bitmap does nothing.
Yup.  For VALSET, onlye.

But why is parameter "1" in ubxtool changing layer 0 which is RAM ?
The answer is here:

     Section 5.3 Configuration Layers

Whan you chnage a layer, the Layer 0 is recomputed.

And note, we are only talking about VALSET.

It must be:

          0 - nothing
Yes.

          1 - set layer 0 (ram)
Yes.  But better to think of it that Layer 0 is recomputed from the layers.

          2 - set layer 1 (bbr)
Yes.  And Layer 0 is recomputed.  Maybe over-riddend by layer 1.

          3 - set layers 0 and 1
No.  1 and 2.  recomputing 0.

          4 - set layer 2 (flash)
Yes.  And Layer 0 is recomputed.  Maybe over-riddend by layer 1 or 2.

          5 = set layers 0 and 2
No.  1 and 4.  recomputing 0.

          6 - set layers 1 and 2
No.  2 and 4.  recomputing 0.

          7 - set layers 0, 1, 2
No.  1, 2 and 4.  recomputing 0.

  >... Spend some quality time reading Section 5.3 of this

I did, not only once, but didn't find the answer.
This is u-blox, it only contrains the possible anssers.  Then re-read
VALGET and VALSET.
