Hi folks, I got this message, and I assume you would find it interesting.
8<---- Due to the extended life of the GPS satellites, we are now facing the possibility there will be more than 30 satellites in the constellation. It is believed this might be a problem in some receivers. Receiver manufacturers should be able to confirm if this is a problem. The Memo at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/gps/gpsnotices/50SW_GPSW_letter.pdf gives more information. Civil responses: If you believe this will cause a problem, please contact NAVCEN at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] by 20 October 2006. What is the best way to forward this to the telecom community? I have not planned to be in Vancouver next week, though I am aware that there is an OPTXS and an ITU-T meeting. This seems important enough that ITU-T participants would want to know and check with their receiver manufacturers. That is, I think both U.S. and international telecom users should consider whether their receivers will fail because of this. Charles, perhaps you can forward this to appropriate people in Europe; perhaps at least members of the ITSF steering committee. Regards, Marc ---->8 With the GPS constallation hitting 32 we seems to run out of "legal" PRN codes even.
