Tracking a buddy - introduction
You can select a buddy or list of buddies continuously track their
positions.
You can also start and stop tracking your buddy and add or remove
buddies from your buddy track list.
The radio sends an LL Request to each buddy in turn at a set time
interval and, if a response is received from a buddy, it displays the
buddy’s LL position on screen.
To set up buddy tracking, you need to:
1. Setup your buddies list. See “Buddy list setup” on page 75.
2. Create a tracking list of up to three buddies.
3. Set the tracking interval.
4. Select a buddy to track.
5. Start/stop tracking the buddy.
Steps 2 to 5 are explained below.
¼ Note: You can also send an individual DSC latitude and longitude
request to a buddy. See “Sending an LL request for the position of a
buddy” on page 58.
Creating your tracking list
1. Select DSC MENU → TRACK BUDDY.
2. Select TRACKLIST. Any buddies already on the tracking list will be
listed.
3. To add a buddy to the tracking list, select ADD NEW to show your
list of buddies.
4. Select a buddy then press [OK] to add that buddy to the tracking list.
To delete a buddy from the tracking list:
Select that buddy then press [OK].
• Select YES to delete, or
