until the specified time. Thereafter, the beacon will be transmitted according to the
setting of the EVERY parameter. (NOTE: If the current time is past the start time, the
beacon will start at the next scheduled interval based on the start time.)
For example, setting GBEACON EVERY 00:15:00 START 00:05:10 would cause the
location beacon to be transmitted every 15 min, with the first transmission each day
occurring at 00:05:10.
If the OR parameter is specified, instead of START, the beacon will be sent when the
EVERY timer runs out or the vehicle has moved m meters since the last beacon,
whichever comes first
If AFTER is specified, the beacon will be transmitted once after no activity is detected on
the channel for hh:mm:ss time. Selecting AFTER does not allow the optional START or
OR parameter.
If the option CLEAR is specified, the buffer is cleared after transmission. This will
prevent copies of NMEA position data from being retransmitted at the next beacon
interval.

GPATH dest [via call1[,call2,...]]
default GPS
This command sets the destination callsign and the digipeaters used to transmit the
GBEACON position information. The destination callsign defaults to GPS. Up to 8
digipeater callsigns may be specified.
GREPORT n
(n = 0 - 255)
default 0
This command sets the interval of local reports of GPS data from this unit’s own GPS
receiver, which will be displayed as defined in the GTEXT command.
GTEXT optional text mixed with $variables$
default $GPRMC$
This command controls how received GPS beacon data is displayed. You can specify one
or more NMEA strings with optional text and/or other variables. To include a variable, it
