What does a GPS satellite transmit?
Signals. Each GPS satellite transmits data on two frequencies, L1 (1575.42 Mhz) and L2 (1227.60 MHz). The atomic clocks aboard the satellite produces the fundamental L-band frequency, 10.23 Mhz. Errors are introduced into the fundamental frequency of the GPS clocks.
What should I do if my Garmin GPS is having problems acquiring satellites?
To do a reset, press and hold the power button for 15 seconds, then release. Then allow it 15 minutes in an open (clear view) of the sky to reacquire the satellite signals. If that does not correct the problem – please let me know the complete model. Thanks, Rod Ask Your Own GPS Question Customerreply replied 8 years ago
