Abstract
Pulkovo Observatory has been operating a permanent GNSS station PULK since 2002. This paper presents the results of preliminary analysis of the changes in the errors in the coordinates of the station over time, primarily after replacement of the receiver or antenna. Two accuracy estimates were applied: the formal error of the daily coordinate estimates and the noise component of the PULK coordinate series. In the first case, the median estimate was used, in the second, the Allan variance. As a result, it turned out that two receiver replacements in the first years of operation led to a noticeable decrease in the formal coordinate error, whereas subsequent receiver replacements, as well as both antenna replacements, showed no noticeable changes in this error. The magnitude of the noise component of the coordinate series did not change much during the entire observation period.
