Icom IC-M505

■ 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-M505 is not supplied
by Icom. A GPS receiver with NMEA0183 ver. 2.0 or 3.01
format is required for position and time indication. Ask your
dealer about suitable GPS receivers.

➥ When the connecting GPS receiver is compatible with
several sentence formats, the order of input prece-
dence is ‘RMC,’ ‘GGA,’ ‘GNS,’ ‘GLL,’ and ‘VTG.’
➥ When sentence format ‘RMC’ is received, time indica-
tion includes a date. Thus the ‘UTC’ or ‘Local’ indication
is not displayed.
➥ “ ??” may blink instead of position and time indications
when the GPS data is invalid, or has not been manu-
ally updated after 4 hours.
