    It's important to note that this is in relation to real time position estimation. You can collect the signal measurements and process offline later for telemetry reconstruction.

    Seems fairly useless to me, for a few dollars I can sample the L1 frequency with a dumb device which has no idea of speed or altitude, and do the calcs with FOSS which is in the wild.

    Basically a rule which inconveniences the honest and has zero impact on the bad dudes, whoever they are

        I have. It works.

        Used a huge amount of compute though and takes a long time to get a fix.

          Maybe that's why nobody else does
