Puzzled by >1 WAAS bird



Where I live I can receive both PRN(?) 48 and 51 (Garmin numbers). I find my GPS 76Cx switching between these two but never seeing both at once. The switching is over a period of many minutes.

I recall seeing both 48 and 51 at the same time but can't recall if it was before the most recent software update.

Can anyone cast some light on this?
