Reminder, L2C and L5 Signals Start Tomorrow

Will we be able to use these new signals? Trimble R8 model 2 here.

I Would Not Use Them Yet

This is test broadcasting of the signals. They will not have good orbit data for a while. For now they will only update the L2C and L5 orbit data twice a week.

When you are not gathering data for money turn them on and see if it messes up your receiver.

"The Air Force intends to broadcast L2C and L5 messages with the health bits set healthy"

These are my options for L2C tracking in my data collector.

So I will be tracking L2C whether I want to or not???
