Digital Group Monitor Function Using the Digital GM Function What is the GM function? The Digital GM (Group Monitor) function automatically checks on the air to find if there are other transceivers operating with the GM function on the same frequency within communication range.
The GM function is exited and the transceiver returns to the previous operating status. With the GM function, messages and images can be transmitted between members. For details, refer to the GM Function Instruction Manual which is available on the Yaesu website.
Setting several station parameters, such as the call sign and symbol are required before using the APRS function (initial settings). For details, refer to the APRS Function Instruction Manual which is available on the Yaesu website. What is the WIRES-X Function? The WIRES-X is a system that connects to other users via the Internet.
Using the GPS Function The GPS Function GPS (Global Positioning System) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on the earth. It was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense as a military system. When the GPS receiver acquires signals from 3 or more (of about 30) GPS satellites orbiting at an altitude of about 20,000 km, it can calculate and display its current position (latitude, longitude, and altitude) within a tolerance of several meters.
