Remarks:
(1) The clock correction parameter is sensitive to the polynomial coefficient source which is either ephemeris related from subframe 1 or from the gps almanac (subframes 4,5). The ephemeris parameters have higher precision 22 & 16 vs 11 & 11 bits.
(2) User must compensate for the GPS week rollover

Returns:
TRUE(1) if successful, FALSE(0) otherwise
Remarks:
(1) Parity bits must be removed from the input subframe data
(2) Returns TRUE(1) if data is successfully decoded
(3) Returns FALSE(0) if the subframe id's are incorrect, i.e. must be subframe1, subframe2, subframe3 in that order
(4) Returns FALSE(0) if the iode's are not consistent for all subframes, note 8 LSB bits of the iodc should equal subframe2 and subframe3 iode
(5) Uses IBM PC format byte alignment
