Position Request

Sending a Position Request

Position Request mode enables a DSC radio to obtain the position (latitude and longitude) of a station that has a GPS device connected to the DSC radio at that station. In most cases, a reply will be forthcoming. If for some reason, your request is not acknowledged in five (5) minutes, the user will be prompted to Resend the request or exit the menu.

To Request the Position of Another Station:

1.In Standby mode, select a channel on which you want to communicate.

2.Press the Enter button to enter the Call Setup menu.

3.Scroll to POS RQST on the menu.

4.Press the Enter button to enter the POS RQST menu. This will link you to the Individual Directory for you to make a position request to one of your prior programmed Individual Directory members.

5.Scroll to the name of the station whose position you want to request.

6.Press the Enter button.

Your radio will send the Position Request and there will be one (1) of three (3) possible responses:

■You will receive the position.

■You will receive a no position data response, meaning the station you queried is not connected to a GPS device and cannot send its position.

■You will receive a no reply response, meaning the operator of that station has chosen not to reply to your request.
