Note 1: Channel number (xx) is implied by position in message. Data for all 12 channels is always provided in this message. If a
channel is unused, a value of 0 will appear for both channel fields. The status indication (hh__ is a one-digit, hexadecimal value
which represents four bits as follows:
<y.O> Measurement of the satellite on this channel used in navigation solution.
<y.1> Ephemeris available for the satellite on this channel.
<y.2> Satellite on this channel is in track.
<y.3> DGPS corrections available for the satellite on this channel (Note: This bit will never be set whenever the configuration of a
particular Jupiter GPS receiver does not support DGPS).

This message complements the GSV message by
