Status Window

The Status Window on the bottom half of the Radio Page

shows current GPS and radio status, and radio actions. As

you operate the unit, the graphics change depending on

what actions you are taking and the unit settings.

GPS Status

The GPS signal bars indicate the strength of satellite

arrays overhead. More bars mean more satellites in view.

As the unit collects satellite information, the satellite

signal bars increase to indicate a 3D position fix. The

more satellite signal bars, the better your position

fix. Three or more green bars are required for GPS

navigation.

Radio Transmission/Reception Status

As the radio transmits and receives, a variety of messages

appear to indicate the type and status of the transmission

or reception.
