/**
* For YachtBot and WindBot devices, this lists the number of satellites the device currently uses to determine its
* position. For the YachtBot smartphone app, restrictions may apply, as per the following e-mail by Brent Russell,

* <pre>
* You're correct, we're not reading or propagating it at the moment from mobile devices, although it works fine with YachtBot hardware.
* The mobile platform is what we're giving away for free, so we're not trying to make it a direct feature match for YachtBot :)
*
* Both mobile and YachtBot only Tx GPS coordinates when there is a valid fix, so in practice I think you should never see a zeroed
* SatQ or SatC that is of any true meaning anyway. Best just to ignore both these types (or throw away if zero) and not request it
* with the ::data call.
*
* We do have some plans to change the way fix quality information is transmitted. Mostly it's so that changes only are transmitted,
* and we'll encourage people to use hdop or gdop rather than satellite count. There's some changes we need to make under the hood
* first though, so not a near future thing.
