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.

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
