Nope.  Here is the code:

        for(i = 0; i <= gpsdata.satellites_used; i++) {
            if (0 < gpsdata.skyview[i].used &&
                1 <  gpsdata.skyview[i].ss) {
                // printf("i: %d, P:%d, ss: %f\n", i, gpsdata.skyview[i].PRN,
                //         gpsdata.skyview[i].ss);
                snr_total += gpsdata.skyview[i].ss;
            }
        }

Looks like the for loop end point is wrong.  Should be:

        for(i = 0; i <= MAXCHANNELS; i++) {

To check the entire table.  Fix pushed.

Don't make arguments from bad assumptions.
