current satellite beam type, beam number and the current satellite. The signal
strength increases in value as the UT transitions to the Regional Beam and again
when it gets a PDP context and transitions to the Narrow Beam.
Typical signal levels for the 9502:
Global beam, during pointing: 50 – 55 dB
Regional beam, during registration or idle: 57 – 61 d
Narrow beam, on a data channel: 65 – 70 dB
The GPS status area shows the status of the GPS fix and results are shown in Table 4 :
