[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 5451582, member: 1103"] 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. [/QUOTE]
