Odd FTM-350R Behavior
David Coursey, N5FDL Sun, January 24, 2010 at 1:08PM I need the help of my fellow FTM-350R owners to figure out whether I am doing something wrong or if this radio has a real problem. (No, the crashing issue has not recurred).
OK, I want to use the NAVI function to drive to a location or “point” as the radio calls it. I have received a packet from a friend at his house. I saved the location as a point.
I am now navigating to the point. I am south of the point, headed north, the NAVI screen (which I think is “heading up” on the display) shows me heading toward the point.
The point is two blocks off the road I am on. It is to the west (left on the display) of the road. But, as I get closer, instead of deviating to the left (west) and pointing toward the point, the target moves right (east) about the same number of degrees as is should me moving to the left.
When I am going west (and the target is north of me) it seems to do the same thing, moving the target northeast when it should be moving northwest.
When I drive to the target, I get the GOAL indication as I would expect.
Can someone attempt to reproduce this behavior? It must be something I’ve set-up wrong, but with these lousy manuals, who can tell?
