[time-nuts] More Galileo satellites available.

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

There are multi GNSS receivers out there. Some may do Galileo. That’s
different than a multi-band (L1 / L2 / L5) receiver that will do Galileo. Since 
the band naming conventions change between systems, even working out 
what’s what is a bit exciting. 

Galileo is a bit more “closed source” than the other systems. If you want to do
this or that, there’s a license fee. The more you want to do, the more it costs
to license your design. Like the other systems, they also have restrictions on
some signals ( = not for civilian use).
