The GM (Group Monitor) function is a convenient utility whereby frequently
communicating stations may be registered into a group. When Group members
operating in GM mode come within communication range, they automatically exchange
their location and ID information and an alert may be sounded. Messages and images
may be exchanged between GM members. In addition, location information received
from other stations can be used for navigation.
Up to 16 groups can be created using the GM function.
Up to 24 members excluding your own station can be registered in each group.
Member lists and group lists can be exchanged with other members by saving the data
to a microSD memory card.
Cautions
yThe GM function does not operate in FM (analog) mode or on the B-band. Switch the A-Band
communication mode to digital mode, before activating the GM function.
yTo use the GM function, all of the group members must operate on the same frequency.
Inputting Text
The keyboard for inputting group names and member stations identification is displayed
on the FT2DR LCD touch screen.
