+--- Thread: GlobalSat BU-353-S4 isn't reliable for EGNOS & WAAS? (/thread-2365.html)
- dutyhog - July 15, 2013
I read on another forum that the more recent GlobalSat BU-353-S4 isn't reliable for WAAS accuracy - errors can be 10 times that of the earlier versions, ie the EGNOS/WAASS seems to be disabled. Does anyone know if that was a false alarm, or has been overcome in more recent firm/hardware?

I think it is a fake

Don't worry

For marine use I see little advantage to the S4, although USGlobalSat is phasing out the original BU-353.
