Figure 4-5 GPS Satellite Information Display
To display the position information display, $GPGSV or $GPGSA should be selected in Menu 211
(GPS – Setup – Sentence).
While the internal GPS unit is active, the transceiver’s built-in clock is automatically configured with
the time and date from the internal GPS unit.
While the internal GPS unit is inactive, set the clock manually.
Timing of automatic adjustments:
• First positioning after the power is turned ON
• Once in 24 hours
The moment the built-in clock reads 00:00, if the internal GPS unit is positioning, the time data from
the GPS unit is set to the radio’s built-in clock.
Figure 4-6 Time and Date Display
North Up keeps North at the top of the display. This is convenient when checking your destination or
the location (direction) of another station on a printed map. In contrast, Heading Up keeps your
traveling direction at the top. So, when traveling to a destination or another station by car or any
other mode of traveling, the display conveniently allows one to definitely know which way to go at a
crossing in real-time. (Thus it can be used as a portable navigation device.)
Pressing the [F] key in the “Time, Altitude, Travel direction, speed” display, “Target point distance,
Travel direction” display, or “Station List menu” display switches between North Up and Heading Up.
