[IGSSTATION-9271] Trimble Alloy firmware update for proper BDS-3 tracking

[Peter.Steigenberger at dlr.de]

Dear operators of Trimble Alloy receivers, 

 

since the BDS-3 PRN reallocation in April 2026, Trimble Alloy receivers do
not track the BDS-3 specific B1C/B2a/B2b signals of BDS-3 satellites with
PRNs that were previously used by BDS-2 satellites. This resulted in a
significant drop of the observations for the affected satellites in the IGS
network. Trimble has finally published firmware 6.60 that fixes this
deficiency.

So far, only very few IGS stations have this latest firmware installed.
Therefore, I would like to ask you to install this firmware to re-establish
the BDS-3 tracking capabilities of the Alloy receivers. 

 

Thanks for your support and best regards,
