Location Format
This feature allows you to select different display formats of GPS location.
The following GPS location formats are available:
• Lat/Long(DD)
• Lat/Long(DDM)
• Lat/Long(DMS)
• UTM/UCS
• SLD99
• MGRS
NOTICE: When you send your location to another radio, the receiving radio displays the
location in its selected format.
6.11.3
Location Feature in Emergency Mode
When the Emergency feature is activated, the radio exits the Location menu and returns to the Home
screen for you to view the channel that triggers the emergency signal. You may re-enter the Location
menu while still in Emergency mode as long as Silent Emergency is not activated.
If you have disabled the Location feature on your radio, it automatically turns back on when Emergency
mode is activated.
If there is a solid location signal during Emergency operation, the current location and the location
information received is saved as Emergency and Last Known Location waypoints respectively.
6.12
Mission Critical Geofence (ASTRO 25 Trunking)
This feature allows the radio to use the GPS receiver to determine its location at frequent intervals and
evaluate if the radio is within the Geofence area in real time. Geofence is a virtual perimeter based on
the GPS to define a geographical area on earth.
When the radio enters the predefined Geofence area, your radio receives the Dynamic Regroup
command from the system and immediately connects to a Dynamic Regroup talkgroup. The radio
display shows the new selected Dynamic Regrouped talkgroup with green intelligent light for your
attention. Voice Announcement is also available to support this feature.
Any new text messages received at Geofence is displayed immediately on the radio display.
NOTICE: If the radio is set up in DVRS, only mobile radio is supported for this feature.
6.12.1
Entering the Geofence Area
Prerequisites: The Voice Announcement in this feature is optional. They must be configured to enable
you to hear and see these indicators.
When and where to use: When the radio enters a Geofence area, the radio immediately sends a
message ACK back to the system.
The radio searches the current zone for the channel with same talkgroup assigned as the Dynamic
Talkgroup and also with same system ID of current trunk system. Once matched, the radio display
shows the first matched and connected channel alias.
