again.
A common source of memory corruption is an aged
Lithium memory back-up battery. This will result in ei-
ther a slow deterioration of memory retention or it may
abruptly dump all its memory.
SIMRAD recommends the battery be changed every 2 to
3 years of operation by an authorized technical dealer.
Marine electronics dealers or radio shops will typically
stock the replacement battery, Lithium type TL-5902,
3.6V (1/2 AA).

GPS3 - Visible Satellite Information
This screen provides some basic information about the
MX smart GPS antenna performance, in that it is basi-
cally an extension of GPS1 screen. It tells you what
satellites are available to track at the moment under the
PRN number. The signal strength of satellites under track
is in the second column labeled S/N. The weakest signal
strength that the GPS receiver can track is 25. However,
any satellite with a signal strength under 32 is considered
troubled, and the GPS receiver will not use that satel-
lite in the navigation solution. Troubled satellites tend to
cause position jumps and greatly reduce the accuracy of
the GPS position fix.
The EL, AZ, and STA values represent the satellite’s
Elevation and Azimuth, and Almanac Status respectively.
Low signal to noise (S/N) quality numbers may be an
indication of local interference from on-board electronic
equipment such as Radar, INMARSAT, VHF, SSB and
