[teqc] FCN of Glonass R17 satellite

[Lou Estey]

The Topcon TPS file supplied by Giovanni Sella was collected with firmware
that could not track GLONASS SVs with negative frequency channel numbers;
therefore it did not contain data or nav messages for R17.  (This will
be fixed with Topcon firmware 3.3 -- currently in testing.)

A Javad JPS file sent by Uwe Hessels -- the originator of this thread --
with Javad firmware 2.6.0 (24 Oct 2007) did have data and nav messages
for R17, and the new teqc code handles it AOK.

Today the 2nd GLONASS SV with a negative frequency channel number was set
operational -- R09, fcn -2.  So I suppose this makes getting a new teqc
out as soon as possible even more imperative for all you GLONASS users.
