Hi Mark:

I don't think the SV Messages are related to Over The Air Rekeying (OTAR) since they don't have enough characters.  My guess is that they are a modern form of the Emergency Action Message (EAM).
Here's a screen shot of a DAGR GPS receiver showing the first couple of 
messages as of 2 pm pacific time 3/31/2018:

-------- Original Message --------
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:

I wonder how many secret services are parasites on the commercial
