GPS OPERATION (ADVANCED)
9-2
GPS TX mode and TX format types
GPS position data has 2 TX modes, D-PRS and
NMEA. Moreover, the D-PRS mode data, 5 position
formats, Position (Mobile station/Base station), Object,
Item, and Weather, are selectable.
Example:
When the caller’s TX format is D-PRS

GPS Position
D-PRS
D-PRS is a function that simultaneously sends position data received from the internal
GPS receiver, using the slow speed data packet space, along with voice.
Position (Mobile)
A station operating from a vehicle, or other position, away from its normal base position.
Position (Base)
A station operating at home or in a building.
Object
Transmitting Object data such as earthquake information, satellite tracking information,
and so on�
An Object contains a time stamp.
Item
Transmitting Item data such as a traffic accident, lighthouse, antenna, or DV access point
position, and so on�
An Item does not contain a time stamp.
Weather
A station transmitting weather information received from a weather device.
NMEA
A station transmitting position data (NMEA0183) received from the internal GPS receiver.
Differences between older models
(As of March 2023)
•
The GPS TX mode, “GPS (DV-G)” and “GPS-A (DV-A),” are now called “NMEA (DV-G)” and “D-PRS (DVA).”
GPS (DV-G) → NMEA (DV-G)
GPS-A (DV-A) → D-PRS (DV-A)
•
For users who have one of the following models:
ID-800H, IC-91AD/E91, IC-U82, IC-V82, IC-7100, ID-51A/E, ID-31A/E, IC-9100, IC-80AD/E80D, ID-880H/E880,
IC-92AD/E92D, IC-2820H/E2820
When you receive a D-PRS position (Base), Object, Item, or Weather information, their data is not displayed.
•
Only the ID-52A/E, ID-51A/E PLUS, ID-51A/E PLUS2, ID-31A/E PLUS, ID-5100A/E, ID-4100A/E, IC-R30,
IC-9700, IC-705, and IC-905 can receive Power, Height, Gain, and Directivity data.
•
For users who have one of the following models:
IC-9100, IC-80AD, IC-E80D, ID-880H, ID-E880, IC-92AD, ICE92D, IC-U82, IC-V82
If you transmit with the Altitude setting ON, the character string is included in a comment on the transceivers that
cannot display altitude.
•
Set GSV sentence to OFF when sending a GPS message to conventional digital transceivers (IC-2820H,
IC-E2820, ID-800H, IC- 91AD, IC-E91, IC-V82, IC-U82, IC-2200H). The GSV sentence is incompatible with them.
They will not display GPS messages properly if sent as a GSV sentence from the IC-905.
