Checking Gps Connections - Standard Horizon Eclipse GX1300 Owner's Manual

6.5 CHECKING GPS CONNECTIONS

After connections have been made between the
GX1300 and the GPS, a small satellite icon will
appear on the top right corner of the display, and
displays your current location (Latitude/Longitude)
on the display .
• If there is a problem with the NMEA input from a GPS, the satellite
icon will blink continuously until the connection is corrected.
• If a GPS with NMEA output is not connected to the radio, the
GX1300 will beep 10 minutes after the radio is turned on. After that
the GX1300 will beep every 4 hours alerting to connect a GPS.
The GX1300 has a GPS status display which
shows the satellites currently being received, along
with a graphical (bar-graph) representation of the
relative signal strengths from each of the satellites.
For the GX1300 to properly show the GPS status page when an ex-
ternal GPS antenna or a chart plotter is connected it must be setup to
output GSA and GSV NMEA 0183 sentences.
