Hi Mike, Is there a way I can enable WAAZ by default on the Holux I own? Thanks.

By default, these sirf star 3 receivers have WAAS disabled. Do you know if the RoyalTech is enabled? Last one I tried a few months ago was not. We had the Holux specially modified with WAAS enabled. Also, the RoyalTech I tried did not have a physical on/off switch. It had a button. Has this changed?
