You can't.  Never intended to work that way.  ubxtool does not output
raw data.  It takes raw data in a processes it.

To capture the raw data from the receiver, while gpsd is running:

        gpspipe -R -n 1000 > data.raw

TO read it in ubxtool:

        ubxtool -r -f data.raw

Yeah, sorry about that.  On some 8-series they changed poll/set to get/set.
Just to confuse people with the new, totally incompatible VALGET/VALSRT.

That pdf is for 8-series.  I thought you had a 9-series?  That will just
confuse you.

Nope.

Higher verbosity does the same thing.  But feel free to play with
ubxtool like that.

That is in valget/valset, not in get/set.  Be very careful, they are
different.

Sorry, don't see it.  Does not matter if you can do it now.

Study the correct doc for your part.  It is in the Configuration Items
section.  There are over 1,000 options, so I don't remember them off the
top of my head.

RTFM.  The RIGHT one.
