Problem (public)
This FAQ describes the steps to manually tune a C-Nav GPS/GNSS receiver to an
alternate C-Nav Corrections Satellite frequency using C-Nav controller
software and display units.

Important information for the following versions of C-Nav controller software:

C-NaviGator III v7.0.7 and higher

C-NaviGator II v6.2.11 and higher
C-Monitor v7.1.0 and higher
C-Setup v7.1.0 and higher

Functionality has been added to update the list of available C-Nav Corrections
Satellites via a small configuration file (SATDEFS). This allows the operator
to simply select an appropriate C-Nav Corrections Satellite from a list rather
than manually defining one. This is especially useful for discontinued
products such as C-Nav2000, C-Nav1010, and C-Nav2050 receivers. Please refer
to the FAQ, [1]How to load a SATDEFS configuration file? for instructions.
