Operating Your Radio

GPS Menu

All VHF Marine radios SHOULD / NEED to have a GPS receiver connected and
operating to effectively use the DSC (Digital Selective Calling) features built-in to the
radios. In an Emergency you want the rescue authorities and surrounding vessels to
know where you are and to be able to quickly assist you in your time of need.
This menu allows you to select the coordinate system which is basically the
accuracy (the most accurate setting is selected by default), and allows you to test
the GPS receiver, select the coordinate system which is basically the accuracy (the
most accurate setting is already selected by default), Select the Satellite Based
Augmentation System to be enabled or turned off (some areas on Earth need this
turned off for greater accuracy)(defaulted On), and allows you to test the GPS
receiver (will test either the internal or an external GPS receiver) to be sure that you
are receiving good satellite information and check the GPS signal strength.
