■ Position and Time indication
When a GPS receiver (NMEA0183 ver. 2.0 or 3.01) is con-
nected, the transceiver displays the current position and time.
When no GPS receiver is connected, the transceiver displays
the manually entered position and time.
A GPS receiver appropriate for the IC-M421 is not supplied
from Icom. A GPS receiver with NMEA0183 ver. 2.0 or 3.01
format is required for position indication. Ask your dealer
about suitable GPS receivers.
When connecting GPS receiver is compatible with several
sentence formatters, the order of input precedence is
‘RMC,’ ‘GGA,’ ‘GNS’ and ‘GLL.’
