Unfortunately, your last sentence is quite ambiguous.  If it is like the D700, then it will not even transmit unless it has a valid position data.  So your sentnece is self contridictory.  Unless it only transmits text messages but not position?

What do you mean by "data"?  The position data is not hukman readable. Maybe it is there and you might be expecting something else?

We can help, if you give us more info.  Like, what does the packet it transmits look like?

thanks
