When you configure your receiver to the new satellite(s)!

In the GPS setup menu select PRN136 or FUTURE136 if you are in Western Europe
I'm from Serbia. It should be East Europe. So PRN136 is a right choice.

A bit more complicated....
On the Display go to Diagnostics > RDI
Then:
1. Press right arrow until you see “Configurations”
2. Press down arrow once
3. Press right arrow until you see “DGPS Config”
4. Press down arrow until you see SBAS Sats
5. Press right arrow twice. You’ll see a cursor flashing.
6. Press down arrow until you see “Disabled”
7. Press left arrow once
8. Press up until you see PRN136
9. Press right arrow once
10. Press up until you see “Heed Health”
11. Press the Enter button
12. Press ESC button to get back to Home screen. On second line of RDI screen you should see 136 and you should have DGPS fix after 5-10 minutes.
If you get lost then press the ESC button multiple times to get back to the first screen and try again.
If you still get lost then contact your dealer.
Thanks will do that in the morning !

Glad it’s not just our 750 that’s not been picking up egnos then, Shame the barsteward thing won’t pick up RTX anymore either

EGNOS is always functional. There’s always at least 2 satellites pushing out the correction. You just need to be receiving the service from the right bird.
Issues arise because folks hard code a particular PRN number (e.g. PRN120) into their SBAS settings on their receiver rather than ‘AUTO’ allowing the receiver to select from the strongest signal.
As it is the Inmarsat satellite that was broadcasting the PRN120 signal is now 22 years old. It’s way beyond its original expected lifetime of 13 years, so is due to be retired.
The panicked, poorly written and incorrect email above from AS Comms describes the latest change as a “problem”. The reality is that this was a planned change and was well publicised. I’m just a schmuck user and got the email 10 days ago. You’d expect the professionals would at least expect there could be some disruption.

It sounds like it's defaulted to Egnos and you haven't noticed. Which is what happened to our drilling tractor a couple of years ago: couldn't work out why we had wide gaps in the OSR, until we looked at the 'correction source' and twigged it wasn't set to RTX, doh...
IIRC, it was immediately after renewal of a lapsed RTX subscription (defaulted to Egnos), and it turns out that inputing the new RTX unlock codes does NOT automatically set the unit to RTX, it will continue to use Egnos until you manually set it to RTX.

Should still be live 12mts lasts for the other one will just be a trimble receiver not sure what system it looked a good system when it could do everything it just got released to soon
