About GPS information
Your radio may be connected to a GPS (global positioning
system) receiver, and programmed (see the note below) so
you can view GPS information such as latitude and
longitude, true course, speed, and coordinated universal
time. Your radio may also be programmed to display UTM
(universal transverse mercator) information such as the UTM
zone, and northing and easting coordinates.
Note: GPS information on the radio display is not a standard
feature. Before being programmed, it must be
purchased and enabled on the radio via the Software
Feature Enabler. Contact Tait Electronics Limited for
more information.
About GPS status information
While viewing GPS information, GPS status information
appears at the top right of the display.
The status information you see on a hand-held control head
may differ to that on a standard control head. In the
following section, status information for a hand-held control
head is shown in brackets [ ].
The following GPS status information may appear in the
display:
■ Tracking [trk]: the GPS receiver is communicating with
asatellite.
■ Lost cnx [no cnx]: the radio has lost serial
communications with the GPS receiver.
■ Stored [no fix]: GPS receiver is having trouble
connecting to a satellite and the radio is displaying stored
information that may not be current.
