Mobility Site - View Single Post - NEED GPS utility to measure ALL satellite signal strength below 26db

PLC · 01-13-04, 09:06 PM

I have a Globalsat 307 and it works great!

But it does not have XTRAC firmware like the Sysonchip so it can only use satellite signals greater than 26db

XTRAC can use signals as low as 16db

There are many places that I cannot get a signal and I would like to see what strength level the signals are at.

Problem is all utilities I have ONLY SHOW satellites in view and then their signal strength IF IT IS ABOVE 26db.

If it is below 26db it does not show anything except that the satellite is in view... I would like to see the signal strength of these satellites to see if they are above 16db

if so, then I can conclude that XTRAC would be better for me.

Anyone know GPS utilities that will do this?

TIA
