Christopher Columbus Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 So when will it be operational? And does anyone know what the Garmin Sat. # is going to be when I look at my 60CSx screen? Quote
ossumguywill Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 So when will it be operational? And does anyone know what the Garmin Sat. # is going to be when I look at my 60CSx screen? I think 31. Quote
+Jim W Posted November 18, 2006 Author Posted November 18, 2006 I thank it will be operational sometime in Dec. it is replacing Garmin Sat # 5, but I don't know what number they will give it, Garmin Sat # 5 will go into standby mode Quote
+EraSeek Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 So when will it be operational? And does anyone know what the Garmin Sat. # is going to be when I look at my 60CSx screen? I think 31. The first was 17, the second was 31, so 31 is already taken. Quote

+hurley_108 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 This one will be number 12. ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/gps/gpsb2.txt Quote
Christopher Columbus Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 This one will be number 12. ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/gps/gpsb2.txt Ahhhh.....number 12. I will keep an eye out for this one. Thanks. Here's another question for the "think tank" crew. Why does my Garmin 60CSx show sat. #47 from time to time. I don't see a #47 PRN on the list? Am I picking up an alien transmission? Quote
