The SAT number indicates the number of satellites that are presently being received and used for the timing solution. The STAT item is a status indicator, having the following meaning: BG – Bad Geometry. This indicates that the satellite positions are not differentiated enough to be usable in Auto-Survey mode. AQ – Aquiring. This indicates that the unit is looking for satellites to track. UL – Unlocked. The unit is receiving satellite timing information, but has not finished locking the OCXO to UTC yet. AS, 3D, 2D – Position fixes. The unit is receiving 3D or 2D position fixes when in Auto Survey mode. Ten thousand readings are required to finish Auto Survey mode. OK – Position hold mode with locked OCXO. The unit has locked the OCXO to UTC, and sufficient satellites are being received to maintain lock.
