ION: Ionosphere Parameters
This message contains the ionosphere and GPS-to-UTC data
conversion parameters.
The message is as follows:
$PASHR,ION,<structure>
The message’s binary structure is described in the table
below.
The GPS broadcast ionosphere model (Klobuchar) is used.

The checksum is computed by breaking the struc-
ture into 37 unsigned shorts, adding them together,
and taking the least significant 16 bits of the result.
