Services (RTCM Recommended Standards For Differential Navstar GPS Service, Version 2.1, RTCM Special Committee No.104). As soon as the initial self-test is complete, the GR-83 begins the process of satellite acquisition and tracking automatically. Under normal circumstances, it takes approximately 42 seconds to achieve a position fix, 38 seconds if ephemeris data is known.

RTCM SC-104 format, with message types 1,2, or 9. As using DGPS receiver with different communication parameters, GR-83 may decode the data correctly to generate accurate messages and save them in battery-back SRAM for later computing.
Additional Software SiRFdemo is the Evaluation Receiver configuration and monitoring software provided with the GR-83. This software can be used to monitor real-time operation of the GR-83 Receiver, log data for analysis, upload new software to the Receiver, and configure the Receiver operation.
