USTOMIZING OUR LUS
If you select GARMIN DGPS or RTCM In/NMEA Out format, you
can control a differential beacon receiver directly from your 276C
Plus using the COM tab. You can have the unit automatically scan
for the DGPS beacon signal, or you can enter the beacon frequency
and bit rate on the unit, and the information will be used to tune the
beacon receiver. If you use a DGPS receiver, WAAS capability is
automatically turned off.
To have the unit automatically scan for a frequency:
1. Set the unit to GARMIN DGPS or RTCM In/NMEA Out.
2. Highlight the Beacon field and press ENTER.
3. Highlight Scan and press ENTER. The numbers in the
Frequency field change as the unit scans from 284 kHz to
325 kHz, 200 bit rate, then 100, at 6-second intervals.
