But, as you see, still a long way to go.

That is a new "feature".  There are no duplicates, each is a separate
satellite and frequency (L1, L2, E5, etc.) combination.

Yes, the presentation needs a lot of work, patches welcome. cgps ran
out of screen space for new items a while ago.  Almost 200 signals can
be tracked by an F9P, how to display all that?  Some new concepts are
needed.

If you look at the JSON the data is presented more unambiguously.

Each is a separate freqeuncy.  Each is being tracked by a different
channel in the receiver.  Depending on your antenna, the satellite, the
atmosphere, multipath, and more, it is normal that each has a different
SNR.
