Tips
• The position GPS coordinates for your own station can be registered in 10 memories (P1 - P10).
The registered coordinates can be set as the position information of your own station (
P.75).
• When using the GPS function in APRS operations, be sure to set [APRS] → [24 MY POSITION] to
“GPS”.
• When using the GPS function, the current consumed will increase by about 30 mA. As a result, the
battery standby time is about 20% shorter compared to when the GPS function is switched OFF.
• If dual receive is used while operating the GPS unit, the weak signals may not be audible due to
noise from the GPS unit.
