Subject: Re: Garmin patch reciever issue



Cedar Rapids, Iowa
The field that contains the "2" is the signal quality indicator, and 2 means DGPS. If you disable WAAS on that receiver, it should change to a "1", meaning autonomous.

Reporting DGPS signal, but without a station ID or correction age is strange.

How loose is the accuracy? That receiver and antenna probably aren't capable of the accuracy you would expect from a > $2000 receiver.

I tested a Garmin 16 a while back (the black hockey puck) and it had a drift radius of like 20 feet over 24 hours. It worked for yield mapping, barely.

As I've been recommending for a while now, if you want a cheap receiver with WAAS level accuracy, buy a used John Deere iTC on SF1.
