UNHEALTH: Every GPS satellite is broad- casting abnormal satellite number(s) in the Almanac. Using this information, the GPS receiver eliminates any malfunctioning satel- lite from the GPS satellite schedule. Once the malfunctioning satellite is returned to on-line status it is automatically restored to the satel- lite schedule when the Almanac is received. In some instances however the Almanac may not contain information which announces that a satellite is now back on line. If you hear of this through another source, you can manu- ally restore the satellite to the satellite sched- ule. Conversely, you can manually disable a healthy satellite if you hear it is unhealthy.

To restore or disable a satellite, select RSTR or DISABLED on the UNHEALTH line and then enter satellite number.

TIME DIFF (using local time): GPS uses UTC time. If you want to use local time, en- ter time difference between local time and

UTC time here. The key serves to desig- nate plus or minus time. See the World Time Standards chart on page A-3 for time differ- ences.

11.2 Speed Averaging

Calculation of ETA and TTG is based on an average ship's speed over a given period. If the period is too long and the ship's speed is changed suddenly, calculation error will re- sult. Speed averaging may be increased or decreased to offset calculation error. The de- fault setting is 00.
