The radio supports RMC, GLL, GNS,
GGA and ZDA sentences. When
these sentences are received, the
radio displays latitude/longitude,
date, time, course, and speed. If
any sentence except an RMC or
GLL sentence is received, the radio
uses the information based on the
following priority order.
• Status:RMC > GLL > GNS > GGA
• Latitude/Longitude:RMC > GLL > GNS > GGA
• UTC Time: RMC > GLL > GNS > GGA > ZDA
• Date: RMC > ZDA
• Speed / Course:RMC
NOTES :
• If the radio receives only a GLL sentence, the radio does not display the
current speed, course, and date.
• If the radio receives both RMC and GLL sentences, the radio uses only
the RMC sentence.
• Status data is used to check whether the GPS data is valid or invalid.
NMEA Output
When the radio receives a DSC call (Distress, Position Reply, or Position
Send), it outputs a DSC/DSE sentence from the NMEA output port.
NOTE: When the radio receives a distress call, it outputs a sentence in the
following format.
• $CDDSC,12,3081234000,,07,00,0354013946,0657,,,S,E*6D
• $CDDSE,1,1,A,3081234000,00,60875646*13
