When the unit is receiving a DGPS signal, the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) and Distance fields show data. The SNR range is 0 dB to 30 dB, with 30 being the best. The Distance may or may not show data, based on the signal being broadcast from the DGPS site. The DGPS beacon transmitters are operated by the United States Coast Guard (or similar government agency in other countries), which is responsible for their accuracy and maintenance. For DGPS transmitter problems or to find the most updated list of frequencies and coverage areas, contact your local USCG or see their Web site at http://www.navcen.uscg.mil/. 118 GPSMAP 296 Pilot's Guide
