Programming A Call Sign - Kenwood TH-D7A(G) Instruction Manual

This transceiver is capable of displaying the following 19
icons as station IDs. When icon data other than these is
received, the display will show an icon code such as /$ or \$.
Some icons may appear with overlay characters as below if
the received icon data includes them.
The following icons show the directions of stations relative
to your position. For example, "
station is located at the northeast relative to your position.
0.0 to 9999 miles (or km) are shown for distances from
other stations. "xxxxmi" (or "xxxxkm") is shown for
distances over 9999 miles (or km). If you do not change
the position data in Menu 2–4 from the default, "----mi"
(or "----km") is shown.
On the TH-D7A(G), the default units for distance and
temperature are mile and F. If necessary, access Menu
2–H (mile/km) and/or Menu 2–I (TEMPERATURE) to
change the setting(s).
Note: Some stations transmit APRS data through TNCs connected to
GPS receivers. If you receive data from those stations, "GOOD"
(satellites tracked) or "LAST" (satellites not tracked) will be shown as the
situation, with GLL, GGA, or RMC which designates $GPGLL, $GPGGA,
or $GPRMC format.
