Hey David,

ubxtool -p RESET -P XX resets the settings to the default settings of 
the firmware or what exactly do you mean? Once you have enabled Galileo 
for a single time it should remain using Galileo until you disable it 
(-d GALILEO) or reset it (-p RESET).

If you simply ran
ubxtool -p RESET -P 18.00
ubxtool -e GALILEO -P 18.00
and it still didn't saved the enable of Galileo after a reboot, you 
could add an udev rule that runs the "ubxtool -e GALILEO -P 18.00" 
automatically.

An output of "ubxtool -p STATUS -P 18.00" or "ubxtool -p CONFIG -P 
18.00" could help too. I am not certain which does give out the 
available (enabled) satellites information but you should be able to 
tell once you tested it.

Florian
