Installation Auto-Tuning Without external commands, the GBR 23 will automatically scan frequencies between 283.5-325.0 kHz Connecting @ 0.5kHz steps for 100 and 200 bps stations only. To use GBR and GPS 25 & 50 bps, you will need to manually tune the beacon via the GPS receiver or other source. For non-GARMIN receivers which do not supply a valid tuning interface (pg. 11-12) to the GBR 23, it is not necessary to connect to the DATA IN (BROWN) wire of the GBR 23. The GBR 23 should tune into a DGP

When four or more How It Works satellites received by the shipboard GPS receiver have corresponding corrections, the result is a highly accurate position reading. The more satellites with corrections, the more accurate the position. The GBR 23 receives RTCM-SC-104 format signals from ground based DGPS Beacon Stations operating in

Reference Sources of Error Using a DGPS Beacon Receiver with your existing Sources of GPS Receiver can provide substantial improvements in Error accuracy; however, there may be occasions when the best possible accuracy will not occur. Several factors can contribute to a degraded DGPS accuracy. Loss of DGPS Beacon Signal— Obviously, the lack of DGPS correction data will result in reduced accuracy. Accuracy will be the same as if no beacon receiver was being used. Several conditions can cause a l
