When you transmit, the set GPS sentence
is also transmitted.
Appears when “GPS TX Mode”
is set to “NMEA.”
NOTE:
• Set the GSV sentence to OFF when sending the
GPS message to a conventional digital transceivers
(IC-2820H, IC-E2820, ID-800H, IC-91AD, IC-E91,
IC-V82, IC-U82, IC-2200H).
The GSV sentence is incompatible with them.
• If “GPS Select” is set to “Manual,” the transceiver au-
tomatically sets the NMEA sentence and transmits it
according to the position data in “Manual Position.”
