GX2200
NOTE
When the GPS reception is limited, such as the flush mounting of the
GX2200
, the NMEA input (+) (blue) and NMEA input (-) (green) wires
may be connected to the NMEA output connections of an external
GPS antenna or a GPS chart plotter. To change the
GX2200
from
using the internal GPS antenna to the external GPS antenna, refer to
section “
15.9 POSITION DATA PRIORITY
” (for selection), and “
15.1
UNIT POWER
” (for turning off).
For further information on interfacing/setting up your GPS, please contact the
manufacturer of the GPS receiver externally connected.

6.6 CHECKING GPS CONNECTIONS
When the
GX2200
receives the GPS signal through
the internal GPS, or from an external GPS antenna or
chart plotter, a small satellite icon or “
IO
” will appear
on the top right corner of the display and your current
location (latitude/longitude) is shown on the display.
NOTE
If there is a problem with the NMEA connection between the radio
and the GPS, the GPS icon will blink continuously until the connec-
tion is corrected.
The
GX2200
has a GPS status display which shows the satellites currently
being received, along with a graphical (bar-graph) representation of the rela-
tive signal strengths from the satellites.
NOTE
For the
GX2200
to properly show the GPS status page when an
external GPS antenna or a chart plotter is connected it must be setup
to output GSA and GSV NMEA 0183 sentences.
