65Using the Digital GM FunctionUsing the Digital GM Function (Digital Group Monitor Function)What is the GM function?The Digital GM (Group Monitor) Function automatically checks if there is another trans-ceiver operating on the same frequency with the GM function within transmission range, and displays the direction, distance and other information for each detected callsign on the LCD. This convenient function not only lets you know if a friend is within transmission range, but also enables instant confirmation of position information between group mem-bers. Furthermore, by using this function, you can send messages and images between group members.CautionThe GM function does not function in the analog mode. Using the % key, switch the communication mode to AMS (Auto Mode Select Function) or digital mode. TipWhen transmitting image data while GM function is active, the transmission mode automatically switches to FR mode (High Speed Data Communication Mode).The transmission mode will automatically return to the previous V/D mode (Voice/Data Simultaneous Communication Mode).Standard Operation of the GM FunctionUsing the GM FunctionThere are 2 ways of using the Digital GM Function.(1) Show all stations (up to 24 stations) operating with the GM function.(2) Register IDs of friends in a group and use it only between registered members.Displaying all stations (up to 24 stations) operating with the GM function.1 Adjust frequency to A band.2 Press D to open the group list.3 Turn O to select [ALL].4 Press H. The ID, distance, and direction of all stations (up to 24) with-in communication range operating with the GM function on the same frequency are displayed. If there are more than 3 stations, turn O to scroll through the display. When the GM function is active, not only can you verify if a station is in or out of com-munication range but the position (direction and distance) information as well.DirectionIn rangeOut of rangeDistanceExample of display when ALL is selectedGroup List ScreenApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620445X20 IC: 511B-20445X20

67Using the APRS FunctionUsing the APRS FunctionWhat is the APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System)?Although there are several functions that display position information using GPS in ama-teur radios, the APRS is data communication system that transmits data such as position information and messages using a format proposed by Bob Bruninga of WB4APR.Upon receiving an APRS signal from the remote station, information such as direction and distance to the remote station from your station and speed of the remote station appear on the LCD of your transceiver.䎭 䎤 䎔 䎽 䎵 䎯Example of display when APRS signal is receivedThe settings (initial settings) such as callsign and symbol for your station must be applied before using the APRS function.For details, refer to the APRS function instruction manual (please download it from our company website).Application for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620445X20 IC: 511B-20445X20
68Using the GPS FunctionUsing the GPS FunctionWhat is GPS?GPS (Global Positioning System) is a space-based satellite navigation system that pro-vides location and time information anywhere on the earth. It was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense as a military system. It receives signals from three or more of about 30 GPS satellites flying at an altitude of about 20,000 km, and displays the current position (latitude, longitude, and altitude) within a tolerance of several meters. In addition, GPS can receive the exact time from the satellite’s onboard atomic clock.Activating the GPS FunctionTo activate the GPS function, select [9 APROS] → [23GPS POWER], and then select [GPS ON] in the Set mode.Tips• Default: ONWhen the GPS function on the transceiver is turned ON, internal clock settings and posi-tion settings for your station are automatically obtained from the GPS data.1 Press and hold M for over 1 second to enter the Set mode.2 Turn O to select [9 APRS].3 Press H.4 Turn O to select [20 GPS POWER].5 Press H.6 Turn O to select [GPS ON].7 Press p to set the GPS Function to ON, and exit the Set mode.Tips• Tip Information about the current positions of radio stations provided by GPS can be registered to 10 memory channels (P1 to P10). Registered position information can be used to set the position of your station.• When the GPS function is active, the power consumption increases by about 40 mA. As a result, the battery life is reduced by about 20% compared to when the GPS function is deactivated.• To use the GPS function during APRS operation, be sure to select [9 APRS] → [24MY POSITION], and then select [GPS] in the Set mode.Application for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620445X20 IC: 511B-20445X20
69Using the GPS FunctionMethod of Positioning by GPSDisplaying Current Position Information of Your Station1 Turn on the transceiver.2 Press and hold M for over 1 second to enter the Set mode.3 Turn O to select [1 DISPLAY].4 Press H.5 Turn O to select [1 GPS POWER].6 Press H.7 GPS data appears on the LCD. An arrow icon (the direction in which you are heading), your current position, number of satellites, longitude, latitude, and altitude appear on the LCD. Tips • The arrow icon (the direction in which you are heading) will not appear and the latitude/altitude blinks until GPS satellite data is acquired. • When GPS satellite data has been acquired, the arrow icon (the direction in which you are heading) will appear, the latitude/altitude will change from blinking to lit, and your current posi-tion will be displayed. • If acquisition of GPS satellite data is interrupted due to an obstacle, such as a building or tun-nel, only the arrow icon (the direction in which you are heading) disappears.8 Press O to scroll the screen, and display the current time. Pressing O again displays GPS data. The GPS screens will transition each time H is pressed.9. Press p. The screen returns from the GPS screen to the normal fre-quency display. (Not return to the transmission state)Displaying Position Information of Remote Station in Digital ModeWith the V/D mode C4FM digital, because GPS position information is transmitted si-multaneously with voice signals, the direction and position of the remote station can be displayed in real-time even while communicating.For details, see “Real-Time Navigation Function” on page 73.Tip• Even if the GPS function of your station is set to OFF, position information of the remote station can be displayed in V/D mode.CautionIf the GPS function is not active, the remote station will not be able to acquire position information for your station.
