to receive signals from an adequate number of
satellites.
Note:
Even where adequate signals from multiple
satellites are available, your GPS feature only
provides an approximate location, usually
within 10 meters from your actual location, but
sometimes farther away.
The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled
by the U.S. government and are subject to changes
implemented in accordance with the Department of
Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio
Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the
performance of the GPS feature on your radio.
GPS Performance Enhancement
Sometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to
complete a location calculation successfully. You then
see a message indicating that your radio cannot
connect to enough visible satellites.
To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a
fix, take note of the following guidelines:
•
For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face
position.
•
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
where there is nothing between your radio and a
large amount of open sky.
Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional
only)
This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice
transmissions, dispatch call and selective call in
conventional ASTRO system. For radio-to-radio
transmission, in order to allow the radio to show peer-
location, the voice should be directly sent from one
radio to another radio without passing through any
infrastructure facility such as repeaters, phone or
DVRS system. Both the transmitting radio and
receiving radio must be configured to enable them to
send and/or receive the GPS coordinates. You can
check with your nearest qualified technician for more
details.
Note:
If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed
Mode channel, only if its voice transmission is
via conventional ASTRO system then it can
receive the location coordinates of its peers.
This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel
or Scan Talkback channel.
