Yeah.  typo.  Saw that later.

"raning" -> "ranging".

The SBAS sats are in geo-stationary orbit (GEO).  So that a GPS does not
have to search all 32 medium-earh orbit (MEO) birds to download the
initial almanac.

The extra distance to GEO, plus the added orbital uncertainty of GEO,
mean that ranging (psuedorange, carrierpahse, and doppler) to SBAS
are reduced accuracy compared to ranging the MEO birds.

Now that GPS have 70+ receive channels it is faster to just download
all the Ephemeris at start time.

Funny thing about that.  Recent discussion on NANOG to repeal that.

Some feel it moves some of the burden from sloppy coders back onto those
that want to interoperate with them.  Worth discussing over beer.
