NMEA OPERATION

If you have difficulty getting your radio to receive data from your GPS receiver, check the

NMEA Input

device's configuration. It should be set to the following parameters:
Baud rate
Data bits
Parity
Stop bits
Data amplitude
The radio supports RMC, GLL, GNS, GGA and ZDA sentences. When these sentences are
Drive capability
received, the radio displays latitude/longitude, date, time, course, and speed. If any
sentence except an RMC or GLL sentence is received, the radio uses the information based
on the following priority order.
x Status:RMC > GLL > GNS > GGA
x Latitude/Longitude:RMC > GLL > GNS > GGA
x UTC Time: RMC > GLL > GNS > GGA > ZDA
x Date: RMC > ZDA
x Speed / Course:RMC
# NOTE 1: If the radio receives only a GLL sentence, the radio does not display the current
speed, course, and date.
# Note 2: If the radio receives both RMC and GLL sentences, the radio uses only the RMC
sentence.
# Note 3: Status data is used to check whether the GPS data is valid or invalid.
When the radio receives a DSC call (Distress, Position Reply, or Position Send), it outputs a

NMEA Output

DSC/DSE sentence from the NMEA output port.
# NOTE: When the radio receives a distress call, it outputs a sentence in the
