Problem
I'm not getting any GPS data
on my display.
I'm not getting any hazard
alerts.
I'm getting all the hazard
alerts, not just the ones for
my area.
I can't make Group DSC
calls.
Where can I find my radio's
serial number?
The radio won't let me enter
my User MMSI. What do I
do?

Things to Try
Make sure your GPS receiver is correctly
connected (see Connecting to a GPS receiver,
page 35).
Make sure your GPS receiver is working properly.
Make sure that your GPS receiver supports the
NMEA parameters described in NMEA Operation
on page 35.
Make sure Weather Alert Watch is turned on.
Check to make sure the FIPS codes in your radio
include your current location (see Using FIPS
codes for weather alerts on page 19).
Check to make sure the FIPS codes in your radio
were entered correctly (see Using FIPS codes for
weather alerts on page 19).
Sometimes the Weather Alert Watch may catch
a hazard alert in the middle of the broadcast and
miss which FIPS codes are affected. For your safe-
ty, the radio triggers the alert tone and switches to
the weather channel when this happens.
Make sure the Group MMSI was entered correctly.
Look on the right side of the radio (the side with the
microphone cord), behind the mounting bracket.
