Hi
If the WAAS birds are run in a fashion that gives a true GPS payload
performance, why not assign them a SN 32 or below and use them?
If the WAAS birds are not in the "right numbers", why bother to set them up and
spend the bucks to make them behave like a nav sat? What's the payoff?
In the old days (receiver channels are sparse resource):
If you devote a receiver channel to receive it, let it contribute to
position while it provides the core corrections.
In todays world:
Channels and GPS birds are many, WAAS only contribute to precision and
validation.
This assuming relatively normal commodity receivers.
The fancy receivers (double-frequency, full-blown carrier-phase
pseudo-ranges) had little extra use of the WAAS, except possibly
somewhat quicker lock-in if not being fed from a national reference grid.
