What is GPS?
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a space-based satellite navigation system that 
provides location and time information anywhere on the earth. It was developed by the 
U.S. Department of Defense as a military system. It receives signals from three or more 
of about 30 GPS satellites flying at an altitude of about 20,000 km, and displays the 
current position (latitude, longitude, and altitude) within a tolerance of several meters. In 
addition, GPS can receive the exact time from the satellite’s onboard atomic clock.
Activating the GPS Function
To activate the GPS function, select “8 APROS”  “23GPS POWER”, and then select 
“GPS ON” in the Set mode.
Hint
• Default: ON
When the GPS function of the FT1DR is turned ON, internal clock settings and position 
settings for your station are automatically obtained from the GPS data.

Method of Positioning by GPS
About Positioning by GPS
“Positioning” refers to calculation of your current position from the satellite orbit 
information and radio propagation time. At least three satellites need to be captured 
for successful positioning. If positioning fails, move away from buildings as far as 
possible and stand in an area with open sky.
 About errors
A positioning error by several hundred meters can occur due to the environmental 
conditions. Under favorable conditions, positioning can be performed successfully 
using only three satellites. However, under the following poor conditions, the 
positioning accuracy can decrease or positioning can fail.
- Between high-rise buildings
- On a narrow road between buildings
- In a room or behind a building
- Under high-voltage cable or overpass
- Between trees such as in the woods
- In a tunnel or underground
- Usage behind heat reflective glass
- Places with strong magnetic fields
 When using the GPS function for the first time today
When you use the GPS function for the first time after purchase of the FT1DR or 
today, a few minutes are required to search for satellites. Also, when using the GPS 
function after turning off the FT1DR for several hours, a few minutes are required to 
search for satellites.
