CONNECTING WITH A GPS RECEIVER OR WEATHER
STATION
The GPS jack on this transceiver accepts a 2.5 mm
(1/10") 3-conductor plug. If necessary, use the supplied
cable to modify the cable end of your GPS receiver or
Weather Station.
• Use a GPS receiver which conforms to the NMEA-0183
format and is compatible with RS-232C signal polarity output
at the below mentioned levels.
[Low level: –15.0V ~ +0.5 V / High level: +3.0V ~ +15.0V]
You cannot use GPS receivers with USB-type connections.
• Set Menu No. 602 (GPS PORT-INPUT) to “GPS” (GPS
receiver), “WEATHER (Davis)” (Weather Station), or
“WEATHER (PeetBros.)” (Weather Station), depending on
the equipment connected to the GPS terminal.
When a GPS receiver is selected, the “GPS” indicator
appears. When a Weather Station is selected, the “WXI”
indicator appears.
• The “GPS” indicator blinks while positioning.
ADJUSTING THE INTERNAL CLOCK
This transceiver has a clock to manage information on
when APRS packets are received. Use Menu Set-up to
correct the current time, date, and if necessary the UTC
offset; UTC stands for Universal Time Coordinated.
The year, month, day, and time are automatically set
from the GPS satellite information. If the GPS information
cannot be received, you can manually enter the date and
time.
Note: The battery for the clock backup is built into the unit. When
the power source is connected, the battery begins to charge. It takes
approximately 12 hours to become fully charged.
