Programming Position Data - Kenwood TH-D7A(G) Instruction Manual

PROGRAMMING POSITION DATA

This transceiver has 3 memory channels for storing
position data. Program latitude and longitude data for up
to 3 locations from which you will often transmit APRS
data.
Note: Grid squares were developed to shortly identify locations
anywhere on the Earth. The world is first divided into 324 areas (AA ~
RR) called "fields". Each field is then divided into 100 "squares" (00 ~
99). Each square is further divided into 576 "sub-squares" (AA ~ XX).
The world is eventually divided into 18, 662, 400 grids; each grid is
expressed with 6 digits.
