ProMark2™ # of Sat’s Indicator
Posted By fred youna on 9/11/2001 at 2:55 AM

The ProMark2™ Tracks 10 GPS Satellites Signals as well as the WAAS and EGNOS satellites.
Is the indicator on the hand held counting the later 2 Satellites? Or just the number of GPS Satellites ?

Example, the display shows 4 satellites tracked, are they all GPS or could it be 3 GPS and 1 WAAS ?
My second question is, is the WAAS satellite numbered for indemnification, just as the GPS sat’s are?

The ProMark 2 has 10 Channels for GPS satellite tracking.

2 additional Channes for WAAS/EGNOS satellite tracking.

12 Channels Total.
The WAAS/EGNOS SV's are only used in Navigation Mode.

On the Satellite Tracking display,
locked GPS SV's are indicated by the individual SV number.

WASS/EGNOS SV's are indicated by "W"
(for WAAS).
