Field Auto Time Marker Interval Timer

Setting / Description Set to Enable to allow your radio to transmit position data automatically, as set in the Time Marker and Interval Timer fields. This is the reference time when your GPS signals are initiated within your system. In this example, this would be 10 minutes after the hour. Once the Time Marker starts, each radio in the fleet must send its position data at a time offset from each other so that no radio is transmitting at the same time. For example: radio 1 would transmit at 10 minutes, 30 seconds; radio 2 would transmit at 10 minutes plus 90 seconds, etc. The time in the Interval Timer will be different for each radio to allow for an offset between GPS transmissions.
