Yes, Jack, I'm well aware of how to derive the Sagnac effect in the inertial frame of the rotational centre.
What I'm leading you toward is how to derive it in the instantaneous inertial frame of the Earth's surface.
So, once again:
If we use Einstein synchronization to set up the transmitter clocks in our hypothetical local positioning system, what errors does that introduce into the transmitter clocks? What corrections will be required at the receiver to compensate? Do you notice that the required compensation is exactly the opposite of the compensation required for Sagnac, so that the total compensation is required is zero?
