From the VHF items menu (section 3.2) select Position View and
press Ok.
If GPS position information is being received, the display will
show “Position View Off”. Press the Ok key to toggle between
ON and OFF. When this option is turned on, the bottom two
lines of the display will show the current Lat / Long position on
all handsets. If the volume or squelch is adjusted, the display
will show the settings while the up/down keys are operated,
before reverting to the position display.
If no GPS position information is being received, the display
will show “View”. Pressing Ok will show the manual position
entered, or the last known GPS position. If there has not been a
position entered, the Lat and Long display will show all 9’s.
Press the VOL or VOL key to toggle between position and
time (UTC) displays.
Press On/C to exit.
3.3.3 Last used channel
Normally the RS87 will power up on the programmed start up
channel (usually the priority channel). This function enables the
radio to power up on the last used channel - the default setting is off.
From the VHF items menu (section 3.2) select Last Used Chan
and press Ok - the current status will be shown - “On” or “Off”.
Press Ok to toggle between the On and Off settings.
Press the VOL or VOL key to select another VHF items
menu option, or On/C to return to the main menu.
3.3.2 Position view
This option allows the user to view the current GPS position that
will be used if a distress call is made (Fig 3.9). The function of
this option depends on whether the position is being received
automatically via NMEA, or if it has been entered manually.
