1. Introduction

APRS is a method for sending and receiving position and other information over a radio transceiver.
The Geosat 5 is ready to accept APRS inputs from a radio transceiver, and to provide fix position
output data to the transceiver in order to transmit your current position.
The Geosat 5 comes with a cable that is pre-wired for use with designated Kenwood radios. The
input/output port used for APRS is the same port that is used for TMC, and is labeled TMC on the
back of the Geosat 5. Due to the multi-use of the TMC port, it is not possible to operate APRS and
TMC simultaneously.
