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.
Status:RMC > GLL > GNS > GGA
Latitude/Longitude:RMC > GLL > GNS > GGA
x
UTC Time: RMC > GLL > GNS > GGA > ZDA

#
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.
