DGPS Status
The DGPS Status command opens an indicator screen that lets you
keep track of the quality of your DGPS signal. This screen shows you
the Signal Frequency, the Station ID (abbreviated "ID"), the signal's Bit
Rate, the Signal to Noise Ratio ("SNR"), the signal's Age (that is, how
old the corrections are) in seconds, and the current Signal Strength.
To get to the DGPS Status screen:
1. Press
MENU|MENU| to GPS SETUP|ENT.
2. Press to
DGPS STATUS|ENT.
At left, the GPS Setup Menu with DGPS Status command selected. At
right, the DGPS Status indicator screen.
External Passive Antenna
The iFINDER Pro can be used with an optional external antenna.
While we recommend the powerful external active antenna, the unit
can operate with an external passive antenna as well. To do this, you
have to let the unit know it's looking for the antenna's signals in a differ-
ent way.
To do this, from the Satellite Status page, press
MENU| to EXT PASSIVE
ANT. Press ENT to turn on (check) or turn off (uncheck) the command.
