GPS MODE
By connecting a GPS Unit, the scanner can operate the following functions.

Automatic lockout control for Scan Systems, Sites, and Channel Groups

Navigation to POI (Point Of Interest)

Location Alerts
This mode guides to the destination by connecting a GPS Unit to the serial port of the scanner and
receiving location data through it.
You must set the scanner’s baud rate to the same as the GPS unit. This is normally 4800 bps
The formats of the GPS data that the scanner can receive are only GGA (Global Positioning System Fix
Data) and RMC (Recommended Minimum Specific GNSS Data) based on “NMEA-0183 ver.3.01”.
