VX-8GR/GE OPERATING MANUAL66
The VX-8GR/GE allows the display of your position (Longitude/Latitude) with the built-
in GPS Antenna Unit.
1. Press the m key until the GPS screen appears.
2. Press and hold in the m key for one second to enter the APRS/GPS Set Mode.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 18: GPS POWER.
4. Press the m key briefly to enable selection of this Set Mode Item.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “GPS ON” (to activate the built-in GPS Antenna
Unit).
6. Press the PTT switch briefly to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
7. When the transceiver succeeds in receiving a valid GPS
signal, your current position (Longitude/Latitude), current
time (UTC), and altitude will appear on the display. Rotate
the DIAL knob (or press the a/b key) to scroll through
additional lines of station text on the display.
The received satellite number appears at the lower right of
compasses (In the example at the right, it is 4 satellites).
When receiving a signal from more than 3 satellites, the
” icon will appear on the display.
Advice: 1) When the built-in GPS Antenna Unit is first turned on, it may take several
minutes to compute a fix of your position. This is normal, as the built-in GPS unit is
downloading “almanac” information from the GPS satellites.
2) While the VX-8GR/GE searches for a GPS signal, the compass icon does not
appear on the display and the position information (Longitude/Latitude) blinks on the
display.
3) If the VX-8GR/GE does not receive a valid GPS signal after three minutes have
passed, you may be in a poor location for satellite reception, such as inside of a house
or building; try moving to a less obstructed position.
8. If you walk a few meters from your current location, your course direction is dis-
played on the compass of the display and walking speed is displayed in the “SPD
column of the display.
9. Press the M key to toggle the GPS screen between “North
Up” and “Heading Up”. The course direction displays a
black arrow in the “North Up” screen, and displays a white
arrow and small “H” icon in the “Heading Up” screen.
10. To return to normal operation, press the m key several
times until the normal screen appears.
1) When the VX-8GR/GE GPS signal is interrupted;
such as when you enter into a tunnel, the compass icon
disappears from the display but maintains the position
information (Longitude/Latitude) at the point where the GPS sig-
