Specification
This section is useful when attaching an external GPS to the POLARIS
radio. Many GPS units have a setup menu to be able to configure the

VHF radio, auto pilots, chart plotters, etc.

items need to be considered for proper operation:
1. Baud Rate – Set the Baud rate to 4800.
2. Data Bits – Set the Data Bits to 8.
3. Parity – Set the Parity to None.
4. Stop Bits – Set the Stop Bits to 1.
5. GPRMC Command – This command is used by the POLARIS
and includes the UTC Time, Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Direction,
and Date information.
