The SHOUT 3G is capable of sending position reports in PECOS Message Structure (PMS).
PMS complies with the Blue Force Tracking Data Format Specification as defined in the
document PECOS 200907-001 Version 1.7 [1]. The 3G is shipped without PMS features activated
and can only be enabled by NAL Research at the request of an authorized user. When PMS is
enabled, the
Format
menu has an additional option called PECOS, as shown in
