Dear IGS colleagues,
In IGS Mail 5924
http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/mail/igsmail/2009/msg00049.html
we noted a reduced amount of observation data for R10 and R14 due to
receiver firmware issues. See, e.g.:
ftp://ftp.unibe.ch/aiub/igsdata/y2009/odata_glonass_d108.txt
ftp://ftp.unibe.ch/aiub/igsdata/y2009/odata_glonass_d109.txt
ftp://ftp.unibe.ch/aiub/igsdata/y2009/odata_glonass_d110.txt
The station operators responsible for Leica (and NovAtel) GNSS
receivers are advised to update the firmware to the latest version
asap: 7.02/3.017 for LEICA GRX1200GGPRO, 7.02/4.003 for LEICA
GRX1200+GNSS, 3.62 for NOV OEMV3. See also:

List of obviously affected GNSS receivers:
AFKB
AJAC
ALIC
BAKO
BARH
BRST
BZRG
CASC
DARW
DAV1
EPRT
FLRS
FUNC
HERT
HNPT
HOB2
HYDE
IDDR
ILHA
JOZ2
KHAR (NOV OEMV3)
KOSG
LAMA
LPAL
MATE
MOBS
NANO
NICO
NTUS
ORID
PDEL
PENC
RCMN
STR1
TOW2
UNBN (NOV OEMV3, already updated)
XMIS
YAR3
It should be mentioned that the percentage of Leica receivers has
reached more than 30% of the GPS/GLONASS tracking receivers considered
in CODE's data monitorung (currently 41 of 133).
Remark: We still receive incomplete GLONASS observation data from
modern GNSS receivers which are not yet ready to track GLONASS negative
frequency channels (due to non-updated firmware):
PARK (JPS E_GGD)
POUS (TPS GB-1000)
VESL (TPS GB-1000)
Best regards,
Stefan
