Beacon information display
SS: SS (Signal Strength) displays a numeric
representation of field strength of the received
signal on the selected frequency. The higher
the number the stronger the received signal. If
noise is present at reception band width, the
figure gets bigger.
SN: SN (Signal-to-Noise) ratio displays the
ratio between the desired signal and unwanted
noise on the selected frequency. The higher
the SN ratio the better the quality of the signal.
Note: If your equipment is not connected with
a DPGS receiver, the message "NO
DIFFERENTIAL DATA" appears when
the BEACON INFO soft key is pressed.
