    Default Australian SBAS test and Garmin handhelds

    The Australian SBAS tests have been extended until July 31, 2020

    The SBAS test transmission services
    The test transmission services has been extended and will be available until 31 July 2020. This will provide continuity of SBAS signals to support R&D, industry testing and encourage early adoption.

    and it seems that some existing units can be used to receive this test signal:

    Can my existing WAAS/EGNOS enabled receiver be used with the new SBAS services?
    For the L1 legacy service existing SBAS-capable equipment can be used, however a firmware upgrade might be required.

    Question: Does anyone know if either or both of the Garmin Oregon 600 and eTrex 10 are capable of receiving and utilising this signal?

    Both units are WAAS/EGNOS capable, and I have the latest firmware in each.

    If they are capable in this area, I assume that WAAS/EGNOS would need to be "On" in the unit, or would a separate SBAS menu option need to be available? (which it isn't after the latest firmware update)
