dB, with 30 being the best. The Distance field might or might not
show data, depending on the signal being broadcast from the DGPS
site.
The DGPS beacon transmitters are operated by the United States
Coast Guard (or similar government agency in other countries),
which is responsible for their accuracy and maintenance. For DGPS
transmitter problems or to find the most updated list of frequencies
