Fix a typo.
Note that receivers do not exchange handshakes with satellites,
they merely track codes. Also, getting time-of-week right is more important
than week number as the codes reset themselves at TOW=0, and the receiver is
looking for the PRN codes. Of course, I would not be surprised if receivers
accepted human-readable time (Y/M/D hh:mm:ss) and turned it into week/tow
internally.
