NMEA-0183 message: MSS
The NMEA MSS message is supported by Trimble receivers capable of MSK (Beacon) reception.
Signal-to-noise ratio, signal strength, frequency, and bit rate from a MSK (Beacon) receiver
The format of the MSS message is:
$‐‐MSS, x.x,x.x,x.x,x.x,x*hh<CR><LF>
An example of the MSS message from a dual‐channel DGNSS receiver is:
$GPMSS,26.4,7.2,283.5,200,2*61
