satellite indicators represent.
H Healthy Satellite - This satellite is healthy and available for
navigation as reported by the US Department of Defense.
U Unhealthy Satellite - This satellite is unhealthy and is not
recommended for navigation as reported by the US Department
of Defense. However, there may be circumstances when using

+ Forced Healthy - This satellite is forced to be used in the receiver
navigation solution by the user, regardless of the DoD health
