Method Of Positioning By Gps - Yaesu FT1DR Operating Manual

Hints
• Information about the current positions of radio stations provided by GPS can be saved in 10
memories (P1 to P10). Saved position information can be used to set the position of your station
(See page 111).
• When the GPS function is active, power consumption increases about 40 mA. As a result, the
battery life is reduced by about 20% compared to when the GPS function is deactivated.
• To use the GPS function during APRS operation, be sure to select "8 APRS"
and then select "GPS" in the Set mode.

GPS data is displayed.
An arrow icon (the direction in which you are heading),
your current position, number of satellites, longitude,
latitude, and altitude are displayed on the screen.
Hints • The arrow icon (the direction in which you are heading) will
not appear and the latitude/altitude blinks until GPS satellite data is acquired.
• When GPS satellite data has been acquired, the arrow icon (the direction in which you are
heading) will appear, the latitude/altitude will change from blinking to lit, and your current
position will be displayed.
• If acquisition of GPS satellite data is interrupted due to an obstacle, such as a building or
tunnel, only the arrow icon (the direction in which you are heading) disappears.
