Peer-Location On The Display (Astro Conventional Only) - Motorola APX 6000 User Manual

Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional
only)
This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice
transmissions, dispatch call and selective call in
conventional ASTRO system. For radio-to-radio
transmission, in order to allow the radio to show peer-
location, the voice should be directly sent from one
radio to another radio without passing through any
infrastructure facility such as repeaters, phone or
DVRS system. Both the transmitting radio and
receiving radio must be configured to enable them to
send and/or receive the GPS coordinates. You can
check with your nearest qualified technician for more
details.
Note: If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed
Mode channel, only if its voice transmission is via
conventional ASTRO system then it can receive the
location coordinates of its peers.
This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel
or Scan Talkback channel.
Upon receiving a voice transmission with GPS
coordinates enabled on the receiving radio, the
display shows the coordinates available in full or in
short coordinates. There are two different formats
132
available. Refer to the following list for the details
English
shown in the Peer-Location quick text. Consult your
agent to pick the best format to configure to your
radio.
