Using the GPS Function The GPS Function 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. When the GPS receiver acquires 3 or more signals (of about 30) GPS satellites orbiting at an altitude of about 20,000 km, it can calculate and display its current position (latitude, longitude, and altitude) within a tolerance of several meters.
Page 27
About Positioning by GPS “Positioning” refers to calculation of your current position from the satellite orbit information and radio propagation time. At least 3 satellites need to be acquired for successful positioning. If positioning fails, move away from buildings as far as possible and stand in an area with open sky.
Using the saved data, tracks can be displayed on commercially available map software*. * Technical support for the map software is not provided by YAESU. 1. See “Activating the GPS Function” on page 26, and activate the GPS function.
GPS Screen Information and Operation Activating the GPS function displays the following information on the LCD. 1. In the normal operation screen, press the [F ] key touch [DISP]. MENU • If [D.RCV] is not displayed, touch [BACK ←] to display [D.RCV] and then touch it. •...

Functions to Use as Necessary AF-DUAL Receive Function The AF-DUAL Receive Function allows reception of a radio broadcast during standby reception of A-band or B-band frequency (or frequency registered to a memory channel). When standby reception is active, no audio is heard on the standby frequency, however if a voice signal is detected, the reception of the broadcast radio will be paused, and the receiver frequency will be heard.
DTMF Operation DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequencies) are the tone signals sent to make telephone calls, or control repeaters and network links. Up to 10 registers of 16-digit DTMF tone codes can be stored as telephone numbers to make calls through the public telephone network using a phone patch or connect through the WIRES-X analog node station.
Using the Transceiver for Packet Communication You can perform packet communication with your transceiver by connecting a TNC (Ter- minal Node Controller) using an optional Microphone Adapter (CT-44). MIC/SP jack CT-44 10 F μ 2 kΩ After connecting the TNC to the transceiver, set the output signal level to the TNC by adjusting the sound volume level of the transceiver.
Clone Operation Data and various settings saved in your transceiver can be copied to any other FT5DR/ DE transceiver. CT-168 (optional) DATA jack DATA jack 1. Turn OFF the power of both FT5DR/DE transceivers, then connect an optional clone cable (CT-168) to the DATA terminal of each transceiver.
To update the transceiver firmware, connect a PC to the DATA terminal of the FT5DR/DE with the supplied USB cable, as described below: When a new firmware update for the FT5DR/DE is available, download the data from the YAESU website to update the FT5DR/DE to the latest version.
