Thread: HB high accuracy receiver discontinued?

Someone explain this to me. There are 24 satellites that make up the GPS network. On your best day, and only at certain times, the max number of satellitees you can lock on to is 12. So why did they come out with a 50 channel puck? What am I overlooking?

I believe several receivers pick up the same satellite and arbitrate the results between receivers. Algorithms. SWAGGING here, but I bet I am close.
