Sirf And Waas

[+drbugs]

I've got a 60cx, and only had WAAS working for about a week. Seeing how many issues have been mentioned with the garmin X series (sirf) and waas, I was curious as to how many other SIRF recievers have issues with WAAS. Some of the ones I am curious about are the lowrances and the PDA based ones. Are there any other SIRF3 based stuff?

 

Some questions:

1. Did WAAS work for you before the feb 1 sat move?

2. How did the waas sats look (ie solid bars?)

3. Does WAAS work for you now?

I don't know if it's a SIRF unit, but I have a Lowrance IFinder GO that I got in mid-March (after the 2/1 satellite move). Initially, I would occasionally get a WAAS satellite, but I almost never get it now. Don't know if that's due to the move or not.....
