Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional)
This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice transmissions, dispatch call, and selective call.
The transmitting radio and receiving radio must be configured to enable the sending and receiving of
the GPS coordinates.
NOTE:
If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed Mode channel and the voice transmission
is from the conventional ASTRO system, then the radio can only receive the peer-location
coordinates.
This feature is operable in a Scan Active channel or Scan Talkback channel.
After receiving a voice transmission with GPS coordinates enabled on the receiving radio, the display
shows the available full location or short location coordinates.
Full location coordinates
• PTT ID (optional)
• Longitude and latitude
• Relative distance or direction
Short location coordinates
• PTT ID (optional)
• Longitude and latitude
NOTE:
If the transmitting radio is stale at the location after a period of time, the receiving radio display
shows the last known location. If the transmitting radio does not have GPS or the receiving
radio could not decode the GPS signal of the received signal, the receiving radio display shows
the location as unknown.
