The safety of life message needs to be set to '1' for you to receive the signal. All 'un-certified' hardware (ie smartphones, satnav, hand held units) can read and use the signal. At the moment this only seems to be impacting aviation applications but I am sure there are others.
I wonder how I can confirm my handheld GPS (Garmin Aera 660) is receiving and using the SBAS trial signal?
