All satellites above the default
minimum elevation of 15 degree
should be tracked.
Tracked satellites will show signal
strength values between 32 and 51
(SN1 and SN2 - Signal / Noise values
on L1 and L2). High elevation
satellites should have values
between 45 and 51. Low elevation
satel-lites (elevations below 20
degree) will show values between 32
and 40.
Not tracked satellites are shown with
a dash line instead S/N values.
The measurement quality is indicated
with numbers of up to 99 in the QI1
and QI2 column. Values will usually
vary between 80 and 99. Lower
values indicate disturbed signal
reception, for instance caused by
trees, leaves, or very active
atmospheric conditions.
If you find satellites above 15 degree
which are not tracked then the line of
sight between the antenna and the
satellite is most likely blocked by
obstructions.
If more than 6 satellites are in view
you have to use the cursor down / up
keys to scroll up and down the
screen and get the information on
those satellites which do not fit onto
the same screen.

For each satellite the following
information is provided:
