Receiving A Position Request
When you went through the DSC set-up process, you set a position request reply
type. (See page 44 to change your setting.) Depending on the setting you chose,
when a Position Request message is received, your radio will enter either:
■
The Auto Reply mode.
■
The Manual Reply mode.
When The Radio Is In Auto Reply Mode:
A position request will sound the position request
alarm and show the name of the requesting station
on the LCD. Your radio will automatically respond.
It will send your position, if you have a GPS connected
to your radio, or
NO POS. DATA (no position data),
if you do not have a GPS device connected.
Press any button to silence the alarm and
exit the display.
