Sat?Link 

 

This menu item indicates if the OmniSTAR satellite 
uplink is operating correctly.  If the link is operating 
correctly, this item will display ‘OK’, otherwise it 
will display ‘BAD’. 

 

 

Maritime 

 

This menu item indicates if the currently enabled 
OmniSTAR subscription is valid for maritime use.  
For land use, it’s acceptable if this is item displays 
‘BAD’. 

 

 

Remote Site 

 

When the DGPS MAX displays ‘OK’, this menu 
item indicates that the remote site in use as part of 
the DGPS correction source is operating correctly.  
If the site is not operating correctly, the receiver 
will display ‘BAD’. 

 

 

Almanac 

 

This menu item indicates if the almanac provided 
by the OmniSTAR services has been downloaded 
successfully.  If a valid almanac is present with the 
DGPS MAX, it will display ‘OK’, otherwise the 
receiver will display ‘BAD’.  A valid almanac is 
required to decode DGPS data.  It may take up to 
20 minutes to obtain a valid almanac if the current 
one is invalid or out of date.  A valid almanac is 
present from factory.
