The Differential SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) indicates, on a scale to 0-30db with 30db being the best,
the strength of the Beacon signal being received. The SNR will depend upon the mounting of your Beacon
receiver and the distance from the Beacon transmitting station. The DGPS beacon transmitters are operated
by the U.S. Coast Guard (or similar government agency in other countries), which is responsible for their
accuracy and maintenance. For DGPS beacon transmitter problems or to find the most updated list of fre-
quencies and coverage areas, contact your local USCG, or see their web site at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov.
