5.5Weather Information

This radar can receive weather information from a japanese DPGS reference station if it is inter- faced with a DGPS beacon receiver (FURUNO GR-80, etc.) and your vessel is within the broad- casting range of a japanese DGPS reference station.

The figure below shows an example of a weather information broadcast. This information is trans- mitted every five minutes, and two reports are provided for each observation point.

This feature is valid only with japanese DGPS reference stations. No display or garbled characters appear if it is used elsewhere.
