DSC OPERATION
■
Position/Time indication
When a GPS receiver (NMEA0183 ver. 2.0 or 3.01) is con-
nected, the transceiver displays the current position and time.
When no GPS receiver is connected, the transceiver displays
the manually entered position and time.
A GPS receiver appropriate for the IC-M502A is not supplied
from Icom. A GPS receiver with NMEA0183 ver. 2.0 or 3.01
format is required for position indication. Ask your dealer
about suitable GPS receivers.
