This is not what we need for a base station receiver or repeater.\u00a0 The subsequent commands change other configurable attributes of the Atlas PL, overriding the macro set of configuration parameters, to arrive at the final desired configuration.\u00a0 It is critical these configuration commands be issued <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">after<\/span> the GPS command.<\/p>\n<p>We hope this demonstrates some of the capabilities of the Atlas PL not commonly identified by the end user.\u00a0 Should you have in mind a specific function of an Atlas PL that is not apparent, we encourage you to contact us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The RavTrack Atlas PL personal GPS locator radio network capabilities Most people will identify the Atlas PL personal locator as an excellent device for people to wear and to send GPS position information, alerts, and man-down status.\u00a0 Typically the Atlas&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,25],"tags":[48,49],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
