6.3 Decode Page
The “Decode” page manages the decoded COSPAS-SARSAT data. It does not only display
the decoded COSPAS-SARSAT information but also stores the messages over time and
calculates the true bearing and distance to the emergency beacon if the GPS data is available
in the message. Furthermore, the calculated true bearing can be exported to the ”Bearing”
page which is displayed as a “GPS-Arrow” in gray.
Press on “DECODE” in order to open the decode page.
When switching to “Decode” page, the active COSPAS-SARSAT frequency is determined by
the following conditions:
- By switching from “Bearing” page, the COSPAS-SARSAT frequency, which was active
in the “Bearing” page, will be adopted.
- If no COSPAS-SARSAT frequency was active on the “Bearing” page, the last active
frequency on the “Decode” page will be used.
- If on the “Decode” page no frequency was set or used, the frequency group
“406.022…028” is selected per default (s. 6.1.2.5).
