There are more sats in the sky lately and you can get up to 16 sometimes.
Oh my... Without getting into details, I spend 40 hours a week designing products that require constant Navstar reception, and you are horribly incorrect and this whole thread is pointless because GPS count is soley dependent on your geographical location. That is what answers your silly question to begin with. Your phantom isn't special, and isn't doing something other phantoms won't, it's just that your location is good for reception,.
would also like you to show me a single spot in this world that is receiving 16 sat's at a single time. Here are some handy tools for you to spend your day with. haha
I use a commercial equivalent of this software: http://freegeographytools.com/2010/onli ... redictions
That free software is accurate, but not nearly reliable enough for my industry.
Here is a quick sat check online tool,

I eagerly await your reply including a location that receives even 14 sats at one time using a 7.28 degree inclination industry standard.
Monday fun fact: my max reception at my office coordinates today is 10.. All day, I will have a max of 10 satellites at any given time and that will only occur for 00:17:10.2847 @ 18:30.019 EST. For 17 minutes, 10.2847 seconds I will have the ability to capture reliable data from 10 orbitals. I will have the ability to receive a max of 8 satellites for 13:48:84.2847 today. Over half of the day my location will only have reliable time stamps from 8 orbitals.
