Typically they let you selectively enable each of the major systems. As you enable more systems, you get more sat’s in each of the messages. For most users, there is not a lot of reason to enable multiple systems. If you want UTC sync’d to USNO you enable one system. If you want to set your watch to time from Moscow, you enable another system …. Setting your watch to both is impractical. Bob > > -- > These are my opinions.
