Or on the GPS/GNSS signals... I was verifying Lady Heather's support for the old SV6/Palisade/Acutime receivers and came across a mention of the "GPS System Message" command. It is requested by TSIP packet 0x28 and returns packet 0x48. Newer Trimble receivers (like the Resolution-T don't seem to support the 0x28/0x48 messages. It is only mentioned in the SV6 docs. The system message is a 22 character ASCII string embedded in the GPS navigation messages.
If you dig into the GPS ICD docs it says it is used like a "bulletin board" for GPS users and can be a plaintext or encrypted message. They currently seem to be encrypted... perhaps a way to distribute P-code keys? I wonder if any of the newer GNSS sats have some hidden goodies in the signals? When sent to the SV6, you get a single response. When sent to a Thunderbolt, you get 31 messages (mostly all the same). I think the different messages are due to delays in the ground control system updating the satellites or the receiver not tracking particular satellites between updates. Here a couple of responses from a Thunderbolt: # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:Z9Mx69BOC1 Lx+:LR3X2 Q # GPS system message:Z9Mx69BOC1 Lx+:LR3X2 Q # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:Z9Mx69BOC1 Lx+:LR3X2 Q # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:X4W-BZXE3/HPU77G49PU1V # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:5FT16X78CN53GVWVF1/8BW # GPS system message:5FT16X78CN53GVWVF1/8BW # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:5FT16X78CN53GVWVF1/8BW # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO # GPS system message:E:S4.A2'3'A65/C5M8 UQO ---------------- > I wonder how many secret services are parasites on the commercial TV transponders _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
