9.9 MANUAL INPUTTING A GPS POSITION (LAT/LON)
This selection allows the latitude and longitude of your vessel to be manually
entered so a DSC distress or a position report call will contain position infor-
mation. This feature maybe useful when a GPS connected to the GX1600
fails to supply position to the radio, or when the GX1700 is located in an area
where GPS reception is limited.
