The information in the Position group is used in the base station reports (AIS
Message 4). Normally a R60 is operated with Position Source set to Surveyed
and the correct position of the base station VHF antenna is then manually
typed into the Surveyed Position Latitude and Longitude fields.
If the position is not known, the R60 Station can generate a self-surveyed
position. A self-surveyed position is a GNSS position averaged over the last 24
hours, where the process of calculation begins at power up and continues until
the R60 is rebooted or powered down. To use the self-surveyed position, first
set Position Source to Surveyed and then click on the Use Self-Surveyed Position
button to set the Latitude and Longitude fields to the self-surveyed position.
The self-surveyed position is further described in section 6.6.3.
9. If you changed any parameter on the GNSS page now is the time to save the
changes to the base station by clicking on the Save Changes button that
appears in the upper right corner of the page.
10. Leave the GNSS category and move to the Reporting Rates settings category.
Since the GNSS and Reporting Rates categories are in the same main category
group (Configure), the fastest way to do this is to move the cursor to hover over
(or click on) the GNSS text in the navigation line, and in the menu that appears
click on the Reporting Rates sub-category (similar to as illustrated in Figure
3-11).
