I have the HMN4084A GPS RSM and a XTS5000R w/ Host R12.00.07. I originally bought the mic as it worked with my XTS2500. I am now trying to use the GPS feature on the XTS5K. I have always noticed that there is a delay with the mic. When I turn the radio on it takes about 2 seconds for the RSM to turn on. Is that normal?

Also, I have "Location Enable" and "User Selectable Location Enable" enabled and I have LOC in my menu. When I attempt to acquire my GPS location (while outdoors) I get "Please Wait" with a flashing GPS icon finally followed by "No Service". Is there something wrong with my mic?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Yes.. The Commander mic's do the same thing..

I wonder why all commanders take the extra seconds to register. I've noticed that on my 3 radios as well.

- Do you maybe need a subscription to the GPS service?

I have had the mic sitting in the window for like an hour and no GPS signal yet. How long should it take?

David, where about are you located?


-Marc

North Central Massachusetts.

Did you get this to work yet?

-if so, what did ya do?

I left it outside all by its lonesome for about 30mins and it locked in the GPS coordinates. Now that it locked in it seems to work a lot fast and even can pull a GPS signal while in doors.
