CHECKING GPS SIGNAL (GPS STATUS DISPLAY)

When the GX6000E receives the GPS signal from the SCU-31, a small satel-
lite icon " " will appear on the display and your current location (latitude/
*
longitude) is shown on the display. (*When the GPS signal receiving from the
NMEA 2000 or NEMA-0183, a "2K" (NMEA 2000) icon or "I/O" (NMEA-0183)
icon will appear on the display.)
If there is a problem with the NMEA connection between the radio and
the GPS, the GPS icon will blink continuously until the connection is
corrected.
The GX6000E has a GPS status display which shows
the satellites currently being received, along with a
graphical (bar-graph) representation of the relative
signal strengths from the satellites.
For the GX6000E to properly show the GPS status page when an
external GPS antenna or a chart plotter is connected it must be setup
to output GSA and GSV NMEA 0183 sentences. When using the
equipment of NMEA 2000, it must be able to output PGN No.129540
(GNSS Sats in View).
