GX2200E
5.6 CHECKING GPS CONNECTIONS
When the
GX2200E
receives the GPS signal through
the internal GPS, or from an external GPS antenna or
chart plotter, a small satellite icon or “
IO
” will appear
on the top right corner of the display and your current
location (latitude/longitude) is shown on the display.
NOTE
If there is a problem with the NMEA connection between the radio
and the GPS, the GPS icon will blink continuously until the connec-
tion is corrected.
The
GX2200E
has a GPS status display which shows the satellites currently
being received, along with a graphical (bar-graph) representation of the rela-
tive signal strengths from the satellites.
NOTE
For the
GX2200E
to properly show the GPS status page when an
external GPS antenna or a chart plotter is connected it must be setup
to output GSA and GSV NMEA 0183 sentences.

to compute a fix of your position. This is normal, as the
GX2200E
is
downloading “almanac” information from the GPS satellites.
