1: Wn1 will be repeated N times for the length of the message; 90 bytes maximum.
2: An RTCM message will always be reported with an even number of ASCII characters.
Thus, if an odd character length RTCM message is decoded, then the first reported
ASCII character in the message string will be an ASCII ‘space’ (0x20) filler character.
3: W1 and W2 are filled with zeros at power-up until the first 0x8d message is decoded.
