Functional Description (copied from the Starlink / Raven Operations Manual)
The Starlink Invicta 210L is a 10 channel high-performance GPS receiver with a built-in DGPS correction receiver. You can select the built-in MSK Radiobeacon receiver or use an external RTCM source for your DGPS corrections. You can even let the receiver automatically select its correction source by using the auto DGPS input mode. (Unlike the 210S, the210L does not support DGPS corrections from an OmniStar satellite.)   DGPS corrections are needed to improve the accuracy of standard GPS. If you operate without DGPS corrections, the accuracy will be about 10 meters RMS. This means the receiver can have errors as far off as 33 feet in any direction 67%  of the time, and greater 33% of the time.  Prior to the government turning off selective Availability (SA), this error was 100 meters RMS. With DGPS corrections, the receiver can give you positions with a RMS accuracy of 1-meter (an error equal to about the length of your arm in any direction).   Reference stations measure GPS errors and broadcast correction messages. The Invicta receives these DGPS corrections from a free radiobeacon and produces accurate position reports. For the functional description we can break the Invicta 2l0L into several parts. Each is described in the following sections.
GPS Receiver
The Invicta 210L GPS receiver provides real-time positions with a RMS accuracy of 1-meter. The receiver can generate position solutions once per second or optionally at 10 solutions per second. Position solutions are output via RS232 in NMEA format messages.   The Invicta 210L has two RS232 ports and can communicate at 1200,2400,4800, 9600, 19.2K, or 38.4K BPS on either/both port(s). The baud rate and the desired output messages can be configured via the serial port using configuration messages.   NMEA format messages are standard for most GPS receivers and therefore should be compatible with almost any software or hardware application designed to work with GPS. A document describing the NMEA messages supported by the Invicta is available on the Starlink web site.
MSK Radiobeacon Receiver
Invicta receivers include a dual-channel beacon receiver with advanced impulse noise processing.  USCG, Canadian, or IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) beacon stations can be used to provide free DGPS corrections for ranges of up to 300 miles.   Dual channels are used to provide reliable automatic station selection. The receiver can track one beacon to get corrections and use the other channel to test for new or better stations. The switch between au old and a new beacon occurs instantly with no loss of differential data.   The receiver actually has a third channel to detect impulse noise. Impulse noise is caused by thunderstorms or by man-made sources such as the ignition system on a car. The third channel detects these pops and clicks in the signal and automatically removes them. Starlink has always been the absolute leader in impulse noise processing which is the real performance-limiting factor in beacon receiver design.
TBA-2 Antenna
The TBA-2 antenna combines the GPS and radiobeacon antennas into a single package, and is our smallest antenna. The antenna can be mounted using a standard marine mount (1"-14), or as an option to either a survey pole mount (5/8"-11) or to a metal surface using a magnetic mount adapter. Antenna mount adapters are not included.
WAAS Operation
These receivers can be optionally configured for single channel WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) operation instead of MSK Radiobeacon operation.  It is not possible to operate WAAS and MSK Radiobeacon modes concurrently.
