GPS/GPS-A OPERATION
Transmitting GPS-A data
GPS-A mode is an operating mode supported with the
D-PRS to transmit position data.
In GPS-A operation, the following codes are transmit-
ted to the PC connected to the IC-7100.
GPS-A code is based on APRS
®
(APRS
: Automatic Packet Reporting System).
About GPS-A data
GPS-A data is formatted as shown below.

• The UTC time is used.
• The data from the internal or external GPS is used.
D D-PRS
D-PRS is a function which simultaneously sends posi-
tion data received from the internal or external GPS re-
ceiver, using the slow speed data packet space, along
with voice in the DV mode.
In the analog format you can transmit or receive only
voice or data at one time. However a D-PRS capable
radio can transmit or receive message data or GPS
position data at the same time voice is been transmit-
ted or received.
D Operating GPS-A
To transmit in GPS-A, follow the steps below, and
for more details, see the pages listed along with the
steps.
1. "MY"(Your own call sign) programming (p. 7-2)
2. Receing GPS data (p. 10-2)
3. Set GPS TX MODE to GPS-A (p. 10-16)
4. Transmitting GPS-A data setting (pp. 10-18 to
10-22)
Setting is completed.
(Transmission is enabled in GPS-A)

Do you have a question about the IC-7100 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
IC-7100 is two months old. Power suddenly cut off. Fuses are OK. No obvious damage internally. Can something with the control head cause unit not to power up?
Yes, a control head issue can cause the Icom IC-7100 to not power up. The control head receives power through the extension cable with shielded RJ45 connectors. If there is high resistance in the power wires or a poor connection in the umbilical cable, it may prevent the control head from receiving enough power to function properly. Reseating both connectors may help resolve the issue.

re ICOM 7100. Digital mode operations leave the mike path inoperable. What protocols are required on the DV USB computer/transceiver cable? Transceiver control head display shows USB-D when the intent is USB.
