From page 126...
... After loss of signal, the codeless receivers take a longer time to reach a given level of accuracy than a well-designed PPS receiver would. In order to increase the L2 signal strength by 6 dB, some spacecraft modifications must be made.7 If an additional signal is added to the GPS satellites, as recommended in the previous chapter, then civilians would have access to another frequency for ionospheric corrections, so enhancements such as increasing the signal strength of ~ would not be as vital.
