Signal to noise ratio
Beacon signal status
Reference station status
DGPS signal strength
This value is between 1and 84.
The higher the value,
the stronger the signal.
If a noise appears at reception band width,
the value becomes bigger.
This value is between 1 to 22. The higher
the value, the better the reception of
beacon signal. When this value is less
than 20, the error is included in the
correction data. In this time, position
fixing is done by using past position data.
When the ship is in the service area of a
beacon station, this value should be 21 or
22. If not, check as follows.
•
Check the grounding.
•
Check the radar beam interference.
•
Check the noise of power generator of
the ship.
