• D-PRS: D-PRS is a function that simultaneously
sends position data received from the inter-
nal or external GPS receiver, using the slow
speed data packet space, along with voice.
• Mobile: A station operating while moving.
• You can transmit direction and speed informa-
tion.
• Base: A station operating at home or in a build-
ing.
• You can transmit the TX power level, height,
antenna gain and antenna direction informa-
tion.
• Object: A station transmitting specic position
data.
An event notice, earthquake information,
satellite track information, and so on, can
be transmitted.
You can add a time stamp data to the object
signal.
• Item: A station transmitting specic position data,
not containing a time data.
A position information such as a traffic ac-
cident, lighthouse, antenna or DV access
point location, and so on, can be transmit-
ted.
You cannot add a time stamp data to the
Item signal.
• Weather: A station transmitting a weather information
received from a weather device.
• NMEA: A station transmitting position data
(NMEA0183) received from the internal or
external GPS receiver.
D SettingtheGPSTXmode

TX mode.
If the TX information setting is finished, you can eas-
ily turn the GPS TX mode ON or OFF in the operating

ForuserswhohaveaD-STARtransceivermodel
priortotheID-5100A/E:
The GPS TX mode, “GPS (DV-G)” and “GPS-A (DV-
A),” are now called as “NMEA” and “D-PRS.”
• GPS (DV-G)  NMEA
• GPS-A (DV-A)  D-PRS
Foruserswhohaveoneofthefollowingmodels:
( ID-800H, IC-91AD/E91, IC-U82, IC-V82, IC-7100,
ID-51A/E, ID-31A/E, IC-9100, IC-80AD/E80D, ID-
880H/E880, IC-92AD/E92D, IC-2820H/E2820)
When you receive a D-PRS position (Base), Object,
Item or Weather signal, position data will not be dis-
played.
