Don't you mean... M-code? (meaning "military" code)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals#Military_.28M-code...

Though I'm honestly surprised I've "known" of GPS for this long and never realized there were a variety of codes. Legacy--some still operating, modern, military, and more. I'm going to enjoy binge reading this wiki/math stuff tomorrow.

No, I'm talking about the P code or precise code. It's modulated with the encrypted W code to create the encrypted Y code.

m-code is the new hotness that is stuck in development hell currently.
