Nope....obama gave that money to them because he is on the same page as Iran. Oh the sim cards, that was a main reason for this, valjar wanted Iran to have those and a photo-op humiliating our sailors.

Maybe we should start calling it: "Iran/Obama".

I like that. I’m running across libtards who dredge up Iran/Contra as a deflection of Ødungo’s and Klintoon’s misdeeds.

There is no longer a “military” mode or less accurate civilian mode. There is one mode. Can’t reduce accuracy or encrypt because the world uses GPS for everything and many uses are necessary for safety. Imagine going to an encryption/less accurate mode and those jets on short final on a Cat III approach. . .splat.

Therefore, there is no encryption mode for military users.

No encryption and anti-jamming on the units I used, from hand-carry to the units on my jet.

Mil GPS receivers can receive the P(Y) signal from L2 GPS satellites, which is (or can be) encrypted, and transmits at about 10x the data rate of the civilian bands, so there is encryption built into military units for that function. And “Selective Availability” is still possible, at least for the moment, though it’s turned off and very likely won’t be turned back on. In any case, the military GPS units like the DAGR and various vehicle-mounted systems have all kinds of nifty bells and whistles that the civilian units aren’t allowed to have (at least not and remain ITAR-compliant).

This would be the Iran nuclear deal that the dimwit Senator/presidential candidate from Texas enabled FOR Obama and AGAINST Israel...

GPS is GPS. No difference between “civilian” versus “military.”

From what I understand the military has some different modes, IIRC 4 modes that are more secure. I'll check on that.

Not really but check anyway. I may be wrong.
Maybe you are thinking of IFF.
Different IFF modes, Mode I - IV

Yes, talks about upgrading the system and the DoD is primary customer.
