Global Positioning System/ Global Navigation Satellite System
Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional only)
ADVANCED FEATURES
This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice
transmissions, dispatch call, emergency call and selective call
in conventional ASTRO system. For radio-to-radio
transmission, in order to allow the radio to show peer-
location, the voice should be directly sent from one radio to
another radio without passing through any infrastructure
facility such as repeaters, phone or DVRS system. Both the
transmitting radio and receiving radio must be configured to
enable them to send and/or receive the GPS coordinates.
You can check with your nearest qualified technician for more
details.
Note: If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed Mode
channel, only if its voice transmission is via conventional
ASTRO system then it can receive the location coordinates of
its peers.
This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel or
Scan Talkback channel. When Scan is active, the receiving
radio cannot show the coordinates on the display if PTT ID
Display is configure to Disabled or Dispatch. It only can show
the coordinates display if the PTT ID is configure to Dispatch
and Scan.
Upon receiving a voice transmission with GPS coordinates
enabled on the receiving radio, the display shows the
coordinates available in full or in short coordinates. There are
two different formats available. Refer to the following list for
the details shown in the Peer-Location quick text.
Consult your agent to pick the best format to configure to
your radio.
Full location
coordinates
• PTT ID (This is optional.)
• Longitude and latitude
• Relative distance and direction.
Short location
coordinates
• PTT ID (This is optional.)
• Longitude and latitude
Note: If the transmitting radio is stale at its location after a
period of time, the receiving radio display shows ID:<PTT ID>
Last Knwn Loc: <Coordinates>.
The ID:<PTT ID> and <distance> are optional details
depending on the requirements of usage.
If the transmitting radio does not have GPS or the receiving
radio could not decode the GPS signal of the received signal,
the receiving radio display shows ID:<PTT ID> Unknown
Loc. The PTT ID is optional to be shown on the display per
requirements of usage.
