DGPS Data

STATION: Shows GOOD or NG.

DATA: Shows GOOD or NG.

SIG. S: Signal Strength. A figure between 0 and 99 is shown. The higher the figure the stronger the beacon signal.

SNR: Signal to Noise Ratio. A figure between 1and 22 is shown. A figure under 18 means position will be inaccurate. When your boat is in the service area of a beacon station, SNR should be 21 or 22. If not, the problem may lie with the grounding, radar interference or generator noise on own boat.
