SECTION FIVE: Checking out the system
Selecting differential options
The 958 has several settings for differential reception. To select one, press the STAR key to display
the OPTIONS/SERVICE INFO screen, then press the RECEIVER OPTIONS key to display the RECEIVER
OPTIONS screen. The DIFFERENTIAL OPERATIONS field offers the following options (depending on
the equipment connected to the 958):
DISABLED - to turn off all differential corrections
•
RADIO BEACON - to force radiobeacon differential if the 958 is connected to a
•
radiobeacon source (for example, the 2701)
WAAS - to force WAAS differential corrections if the 958 is connected to a
•
WAAS-capable unit (for example, the 2201, 2301, or 2701)
AUTO - (the default setting) to prefer WAAS differential corrections, but if the 958 is
•
connected to the optional 2701, the 958 will automatically switch to radiobeacon
corrections if and when WAAS becomes unavailable or is less accurate than
radiobeacon
