This transceiver is capable of displaying the following

icons as station IDs.

Some icons may appear with overlay characters as below

if the received icon data includes them.

The following icons show the directions of stations relative

to your position. For example, “ ” indicates the other

station is located at the northeast relative to your position.

0.0 to 9999 miles (or km) are shown for distances from

other stations. “xxxxmi” (or “xxxxkm”) is shown for

distances over 9999 miles (or km).

To change the speed/distance and/or temperature

settings of the units, access Menu 626 (DISPLAY UNIT 1

- SPEED, DISTANCE) and/or Menu 626 (DISPLAY UNIT

1 -TEMPERATURE)

Note: Some stations transmit APRS packets through TNCs

connected to GPS receivers. If you receive packets from those

stations, “GOOD” (satellites tracked) or “LAST” (satellites not tracked)

will be shown as the situation, with GLL, GGA, or RMC which

designates $GPGLL, $GPGGA, or $GPRMC format.
