Digital Group Monitor Function
Using the Digital GM Function
What is the GM function?
The Digital GM (Group Monitor) function automatically checks on the air to find if there
are other transceivers operating with the GM function on the same frequency within
communication range. When other GM stations are detected, the direction, distance,
and other information for each detected call sign is displayed on the LCD. This allows
immediately checking the distances from the group members within the communication
range and other group members.
Additionally, the GM function facilitates sending messages and images to the group
members.
Caution
The GM function does not function in analog mode or on band B. Before activating GM function,
Touch [MODE] to switch to the AMS (Auto Mode Select Function) or digital mode.
