Radio menus | RS40/RS40-B User Guide
GPS source
Depending on your radio model, you have several options available
- you can select an External (Networked (RS40)) or Internal GPS
source (RS40 and RS40-B).
¼ Notes:
• A valid GPS source is required for DSC, AIS and Navigation functions
to operate.
• Due to AIS regulations it is not possible to use a networked GPS
antenna with an AIS transmitter, therefore networked GPS sources
are not available for RS40-B.
Networked (RS40 only)
If a networked source is selected, the symbol will be displayed.
Once a valid fix is obtained, will be displayed:
• Choose NMEA 2000 for GPS via NMEA 2000 network. A list of
available devices installed on your NMEA 2000 network will be
displayed. Choose AUTO SELECT to pick the best GPS source visible
on NMEA 2000 or select any other device listed.
• Choose NMEA 0183 to have the radio listen for GPS data on its serial
NMEA 0183 port.
Internal (RS40 and RS40-B)
If an external GPS source is not available, select the internal GPS
system, indicated by the
icon.
Once a valid fix is obtained, the icon will change to
• Choose BUILT-IN to use the internal GPS system. Then choose the
GPS antenna to be used:
• Select INTERNAL ANTENNA to use the GPS antenna built into the
radio
• Select EXTERNAL ANTENNA to use the optional GPS antenna
connected to the radio via the GPS antenna SMA port.
GPS SIM
Select to toggle ON or OFF.
Whenever the GPS Simulator is turned ON, simulated Speed Over
Ground (SOG), Course Over Ground (COG), and LL position appear
on the screen. This is for the purpose of demonstration only. The SIM
icon is displayed to warn the user it is in this mode.
