Reference
b is the number of satellites being tracked: 1 to 9, “:” (for 10),
“;” (for 11), or “<” (for 12).
Each time tag is terminated by a carriage return, line feed
sequence.
A typical printout looks like this:
UTC 93.12.21 20:21:16 56
UTC 93.12.21 20:21:17 56
UTC 93.12.21 20:21:18 56
If a and b are ??, the time is based on the receiver clock because the
receiver is not tracking satellites. The receiver clock is less accurate
than time readings extracted from satellite signals.
