Q Proportional Pathing

Access Menu 3E1.

This function automatically changes the transmit packet

path with the elapsed time.

Operation example for when = ON

Transmission interval is 1 minute. (When the

Algorithm> = ON, the decay transmission interval takes
precedence.)

The packet path changes with each transmission as

shown below (when the packet path is set as WIDE1-1,
WIDE2-1).

1 minute : DIRECT

2 minutes : WIDE1-1 (1 Hop)

3 minutes : DIRECT

4 minutes : WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1 (2 Hops)

5 minutes : DIRECT

6 minutes : WIDE1-1 (1 Hop)

7 minutes : DIRECT

8 minutes : WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1 (2 Hops)

This is repeated.

When jointly using a Decay Algorithm, if the speed is 1 knots

or slower, a Decay Algorithm pattern is used for transmitting,
but if the speed is 3 knots or faster, it changes to Proportional
Pathing.

SETTING SmartBeaconing

TM

Set to use “SmartBeaconing” (Menu 3D0) with APRS data
transmission.

This function optimizes beacon transmission based on
driving direction and speed. Use this function when you
want to track your transmissions, especially for optimizing
crossover beacon transmission intervals.

Q Low speed / High speed

Access Menu 3F0.

Low speed setting (2 ~ 30 ).

When the speed is lower than this, beacons are
transmitted at the time interval specified under “Slow
Rate”.

High speed setting (2 ~90 ).

When the speed is faster than this, beacons are
transmitted at the time interval specified under “Fast
Rate”.

Note: To select the speed setting of the units, access Menu 3V0
(Units 1 - Speed, Distance).

Q Slow rate

Access Menu 3F1.

Low speed transmission interval time

(1 ~ 100 minutes).

Q Fast rate

Access Menu 3F2.

High speed transmission interval time

(10 ~ 180 seconds).

Q Turn angle

Access Menu 3G0.

Driving direction change, minimum value setting

(5 ~ 90 degrees).

Q Turn slope

Access Menu 3G1.

Driving direction change, additional value setting

(1 ~ 255 (10degrees/speed)).

Q Turn time

Access Menu 3G2.

Minimum time delay between each beacon

transmission (5 ~ 180 seconds).

Note:
X When Menu 331 is set to a value other than [GPS], it operates at

the .

X Adjust the Setting values to match the actual driving status.
