Reporting your current location

1. Briefly press the User button. This will

display your current coordinates.

2. To give a routine location in a radio

message, or in general discussion, a 6

figure grid reference plus description is

used. Report a description of your

location followed by the red numbers, as

shown:

Location

55H 0357179

UTM 5826488

3. For example: "BSAR 6 is at the creek

junction at grid reference 571264." You

can then press Cancel, or alternatively

enter a name for this waypoint and then

Save it.

4. A full 14-digit grid reference is only

warranted in a radio message with a

'search-critical' location; for example,

"BSAR 4 has found the missing person at

55H 0357179 5826488".
