6.9 POSITION SEND
The position send mode may be used to send your position to another radio
with this feature. Your vessel must have an operating GPS receiver con-
nected to its
MATRIX to send the position and must not have its transceiver
set to deny position send.
When other vessel receives your position, the trans-
ceiver outputs a NMEA DSC sentence which may be
used by a Standard Horizon GPS chart plotter to show
your position.
