Problem Things to Try

I’m not getting any GPS data

on my display.

Make sure your GPS receiver is correctly

connected (see Connecting to a GPS receiver,

page 35).

Make sure your GPS receiver is working properly.

Make sure that your GPS receiver supports the

NMEA parameters described in NMEA Operation

on page 35.

I’m not getting any hazard

alerts.

Make sure Weather Alert Watch is turned on.

Check to make sure the FIPS codes in your radio

include your current location (see Using FIPS

codes for weather alerts on page 19).

I’m getting all the hazard

alerts, not just the ones for

my area.

Check to make sure the FIPS codes in your radio

were entered correctly (see Using FIPS codes for

weather alerts on page 19).

Sometimes the Weather Alert Watch may catch

a hazard alert in the middle of the broadcast and

miss which FIPS codes are affected. For your safe-

ty, the radio triggers the alert tone and switches to

the weather channel when this happens.

I can’t make Group DSC

calls.

Make sure the Group MMSI was entered correctly.

Where can I nd my radio’s

serial number?

Look on the right side of the radio (the side with the

microphone cord), behind the mounting bracket.

The radio won’t let me enter

my User MMSI. What do I

do?
