Hi:
I recently got a CSI LGBX Pro DGPS Receiver and it used to display a list of the satellites it was tracking, but not
that function is no longer working.
But all the other functions seem to work. CSI made their own LF beacon receivers but in this model they use an Ashtech
G-12L for GPS and a Fugro 3000
Receiver for the OmniSTAR correction subscription service which costs $800/year. I've asked Trimble (who are doing the
tech support for Ashtech) if there's a firmware upgrade.

Have Fun,

They can't point official fingers. That's why.
Ask you vendor if they need firmware upgrades to comply in this aspect.

It would be good to understand which receivers are adversely affected by
this.. the USCG did not list affected vendors/devices..

Hi fellow time-nuts,
I think this message is interesting. It shows that some receiver vendors
have been cheating on an important detail, ignoring the health status
and being confused as a result.
Cheers,
Magnus

Recently, many GPS users have reported intermittent GPS outages in their
devices. After investigating, the U.S. government has linked the
problem to flawed processing of GPS satellite data within certain GPS
receiver chipsets. The GPS satellite service continues to function as
designed and is fully operational and available worldwide.
The problem affects only user equipment that erroneously ignores the
satellite health status information broadcast from every GPS satellite.
The problem is not related to the April 28, 2014, activation of civil
navigation messages on the GPS L2C and L5 signals.
Since March 15, 2014, the Air Force has been conducting functional
checkout on a GPS satellite, designated Space Vehicle Number (SVN) 64.
SVN 64 broadcasts a data message that clearly indicates SVN 64 is
unusable for navigation. Nevertheless, the U.S. government has
confirmed that certain GPS receivers are using data from SVN 64, in
violation of GPS interface specifications, resulting in outages or
corrupted, inaccurate position calculations.
The Air Force testing is scheduled to end in mid-May 2014 at which time
SVN 64 will begin normal operation. At that point, these problems may
stop occurring. Meanwhile, the U.S. government urges all GPS device
makers to review their products for compliance with the GPS interface
specifications, and if necessary, to issue software/firmware updates to
users as soon as possible. View specifications

Users experiencing GPS outages should check with their device
manufacturers for available software/firmware updates. In addition, any
civil user seeing unusual behavior in GPS user equipment should report
it to the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center (NAVCEN). Aviation users
should file reports consistent with FAA-approved procedures. Military
users seeing unusual behavior should report it the GPS Operations Center
(GPSOC).
Please direct any civil user questions to NAVCEN at (703) 313-5900,
