4 Phoenix 300 Installation & Operation Manual
The Phoenix 300 is compatible with the following SBAS differential correction services:
WAAS (Wide Angle Augmentation System). A correction service primarily covering the United States and
available, without subscription, for agricultural use. WAAS corrections may also be used in some areas of
Canada and Mexico.
More information is available at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) web site:
www.faa.gov
EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service). Correction services which use the GPS
satellite network developed by the U.S. and augmented to provide differential corrections within European
countries.
More information is available at the European Space Agency (ESA) web site:

SDCM (System for Differential Corrections and Monitoring). SDCM is an SBAS which utilizes both the
GPS and GLONASS satellite constellations for positioning data developed by the Russian government.
More information may be found at the Russian system of differential correction and monitoring web site:
www.sdcm.ru/
MSAS (Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System). Service developed for differential corrections in
Japan.
QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System). A system parallel with the MSAS services in Japan.

GAGAN (GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation). Regional SBAS system available for use in India.

NovAtel GLIDE
The NovAtel GLIDE feature can be used either in conjunction with a SBAS correction signal as a position
smoothing feature or as an autonomous correction source for areas with limited SBAS coverage. Both options
are available as a standard feature of the Phoenix 300 receiver.
GS
The GS subscription service delivers corrections without the need for a local reference station. GS corrections
may be delivered to the vehicle cabin either via a satellite based correction signal or via a cellular network and
the Slingshot
®
Field Hub™.
The Field Hub provides a link for wireless communication from the vehicle cabin via the cellular network and
provides access to the internet via a Raven field computer or other web enabled devices.
Note: GPS engine firmware OEM 6.400 or newer and an authorization code are required for GS
correction services. Refer to the Receiver Display Menu section on page 13 for assistance with
verifying the firmware version installed on the receiver or contact a local Raven dealer for
information on correction services available for Phoenix 300 receivers.
