Full CNAV messages are not being broadcast yet since the current
version of the ground control system doesn't support them. A few
partial test frames have been transmitted by the first Block IIF
satellite.
The current NAV messages provide the quasi-Keplerian orbit parameter
values for computing satellite coordinates in the WGS 84 ECEF frame.
In deriving the orbit parameters, the ground control system operators
take into account Earth orientation, including UT1 and polar motion,
so that the user doesn't have to.

DUT1 gets 31 bits, including the sign, and is in units of 2^(-24)

Have you got a reference for this Keith? The only info I could find
is from Page 18 sub-frame 4 where the GPS-UTC delta is defined
maybe the doc was incomplete . And as a bonus, do you know of any
receivers which report it?
Hi Mike,
The 31-bit DUT1 is actually part of the new GPS CNAV navigation
message on L2. See IS-GPS-200E table 30-VIII. I'm not sure if they
have actually started transmitting it yet.
The traditional GPS navigation message also sends ephemeris
parameters to convert from ECI of the satellite ephemerides to ECEF,
but I do not think DUT1 can necessarily be derived from these, since
each ephemeris seems to be transmitted in a different ECI frame.
