How many satellites are simulated?

HaXlezi opened this issue · comments

Hi, can someone please explain, how many satellites are simulated by this SW? Is it simulating just those which could be seen from fictive location or is it just some static number of satellites?
Thank you!

MAX_CHAN defines the number of channels. The default value is 16.

Sooo... if i don´t change this thing, it will always generate singal from 16 satellites independently on selected location?

That's true you will have 16 channels but the number of satellites will depend on the location because the simulator picks them based on their elevation angles

Great guys! Thank you so much
