Values provided in Argos diagnostic data (definition from Argos User's Manual 2011). Values obtained through some Argos channels do not include leading 0s, so 1-digit values indicate X = 0 and blank values or values of "0" indicate both X and Y = 0. Allowed values are X = 0: No calculation of residual frequency error (fewer than four messages received) X = 1,2,3: Unsatisfactory convergence of calculation X = 4: Residual frequency error > 1.5 Hz X = 5: 0.15 Hz < residual frequency error < 1.5 Hz X = 6: Residual frequency error < 0.15 Hz Y = 0: No check on transmit frequency drift, as the two results are more than 12 hours apart. Y = 1: Frequency discrepancy > 400 Hz. Probably due to transmit frequency discrepancy, change of oscillator, etc. Y = 2: Previous location is less than 1/2 hour old.
