GPS Menu
All VHF Marine radios SHOULD / NEED to have a GPS receiver connected and operating
to effectively use the DSC (Digital Selective Calling) features built-in to the radios.
In an Emergency you want the rescue authorities and surrounding vessels to know
where you are and to be able to quickly assist you in your time of need.
This menu allows you to test the GPS receiver, select the coordinate system, select
the Satellite Based Augmentation System to be enabled or turned off (some areas on
Earth need this turned off for greater accuracy)(defaulted On), and allows you to test
a connected external GPS receiver to be sure that you are receiving good satellite
information and check the GPS signal strength.
