Global Positioning System
Selective availability (S/A code) was disabled on 2nd May
2000 at 04:05 UTC. The United States government has
stated that present GPS users do so at their own risk.
The US Government may at any time end or change
operation of these satellites without warning.
The U.S. Department of Commerce Limits
Requirements state that all exportable GPS products
contain performance limitations so that they cannot be
used to threaten the security of the United States.
Access to satellite measurements and navigation results
will be limited from display and recordable output
when predetermined values of velocity and altitude are
exceeded. These threshold values are far in excess of
the normal and expected operational parameters of the
NCT-2030M GPS Sensor.
