Bearing/Distance Calculator
From Menu 2, The "Locator Bearings" button enters the Bearing/Distance calculator. After selection of the button, the keyboard appears for the user to enter the callsign of the distant station. After entering the callsign, a second keyboard is displayed to enable the entry of the distant station's locator. Six, 8 or 10-character locators are acceptable; invalid locators are not accepted and cause the keyboard to be refreshed. After entering a valid locator, a list of the 10 most recent calculated bearings and ranges is displayed.
