The APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is a system proposed by WB4APR,
Bob Bruninga for data communication by acquiring the station location information and
sending/receiving messages. Manually inputting position data beforehand will allow
location reporting on transmissions without using the GPS function.
Upon receiving an APRS signal from a remote station, information such as direction to
the remote station from your station, distance to the remote station, and speed of the
remote station appear on the LCD of your transceiver.

Operating APRS using the GPS function.
When the GPS function of the transceiver is used, your transceiver’s internal clock
and position are automatically set by the obtained GPS information. If you use
APRS with your transceiver while walking or traveling, the use of the GPS function is
recommended.
1 Press M over 1 second.
Enters the Set mode.
2 Turn O to select [9 APRS].
3 Press H.
4 Turn O to select [20 GPS POWER].
5 Press H.
6 Turn O to select “ON”.
ON: GPS can be used.
OFF: GPS cannot be used.
Tip Default: ON
7 Press M.
8 Press p.
Exits from the Set mode.
When operating APRS, the position information obtained from GPS can be used for
your transceiver’s position information. Select [9 APRS] [24 MY POSITION] and set
[24 MY POSITION] to [GPS]. If you set the Lat/Lon or P1 to P10 toother than [GPS], the
GPS data is nullified even if it is obtained. The position information designated by this
setting, such as Lat/Lon or P1 to P10, is transmitted.
Tip
• Your own station position Information obtained from GPS can be registered to 10 memory channels
(P1 to P10). The registered position information may then be used to transmit the position of your
own station (See page 63).
• To use the GPS function for APRS operation, select [9 APRS] [24 MY POSITION] and then set
[24 MY POSITION] to [GPS] in the Set mode.
• Using the GPS function increases the consumption current by approximately 30mA. As a result, the
battery life is reduced by about 20% compared to when the GPS function is not used.
• If dual reception is used while APRS is active, weak signals may be inaudible due to noise produced
by the APRS unit.
Operating APRS without using the GPS function.
In order to operate APRS without using the GPS function, set the clock and position
information manually by performing the following steps.
O Setting the clock.
If the internal clock is set, it will be reflected in the time display on the APRS screen. For
details, refer to “Setting clock time” (Basic Operation See page 33).

Setting SmartBeaconing™
The SmartBeaconing function efficiently transmits/beacons the position information of
your station, based on data obtained from the GPS unit.
This transceiver can support automatic beacon information with the SmartBeaconing
function.
The SmartBeaconing function on this transceiver has 3 different settings (TYPE 1 to
TYPE 3) and has preset initial values postulated to be used in the following operations.
TYPE1: High speed movement, such as by vehicle.
TYPE2: Medium speed movement, such as by bicycle.
TYPE3: Low speed movement, such as by walking.
TYPE 2 and TYPE 3 settings (particularly TYPE 3) transmit many beacons in a short
period of time, even if movement is comparatively slow.
Because of this, using these setting during high speed movement, such as by vehicle,
causes many beacons to be transmitted, and may cause signal congestion on the
frequency.
Be sure to use TYPE1 settings when in high-speed movement.
If SmartBeaconing is to be operated at different timings, parameters of settings TYPE1
to TYPE3 can be changed. When changing parameters, be sure to adjust parameters of
SmartBeaconing and DIGI PATH settings for appropriate beacon transmission intervals
to avoid signal congestion on the APRS frequency.

Setting the Digipter Route
A station that relays transmissions such as beacons is called a digipeater.
In order to use a digipeater, register the callsign or ALIAS of the digipeater to your
transceiver.
This transceiver is preset to [WIDE1-1] (relay setting for 1 position) and [WIDE1-1,
WIDE2-1] (relay setting for 2 positions).
In [WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1], a transmission is relayed to the first digipeater station specified
as WIDE1-1, then to the second digipeater station specified as WIDE2-1.
In this setting, transmission is relayed by digipeaters in 2 positions.
As of January 2013, digipeater stations used by APRS are recommended to be
operated using *New-N Paradigm.
The initial values set to this transceiver are those premised on the NEW-N Paradigm
method for digipeater station operation.
In order to use other methods of relaying messages, select between P4 and P8 and
enter the CALLSIGN or ALIAS of the relay station (enter these by following the steps
below).
* For information on the New-N Paradigm method, see the website below for details.
http://aprs.org/fix14439.html (as of January 2013)
Caution
If too many relay nodes are set, a beacon sent by one station is repeatedly relayed and can cause
communications channel congestion.
Try to operate DIGI PATH without changing settings unless necessary.

APRS Set mode function list
Explanation:
The SmartBeaconing function is a function for efficiently transmitting beacons of position
information of your station, based on data obtained from the GPS unit.
Set STATUS to one of TYPE1 to TYPE3, set [9 APRS] [24 MY POSITION] to [GPS],
and [9 APRS] [16 BEACON TX] to [SMART] (can also be set by pressing B twice
on the STATION LIST screen) to activate the operation of the SmartBeaconing function.
If “
” appears on the top-left corner of the STATION LIST screen, SmartBeaconingTM is
in operation.
STATUS: SmartBeaconing
TM
only operates when STATUS is set to TYPE1,
TYPE2, or TYPE3.
Set STATUS to OFF to deactivate SmartBeacon
TM
.
The SmartBeaconing function on this transceiver has 3 different settings
(TYPE 1 to TYPE 3) and has preset initial values postulated to be used in
the following operation.
TYPE1: High speed movement, such as by vehicle.
TYPE2: Medium speed movement, such as by bicycle.
TYPE3: Low speed movement, such as by walking.
TYPE 2 and TYPE 3 settings (particularly TYPE 3) transmits many
beacons in a short period of time even if in comparatively slow
movement.
Because of this, using these setting during high speed movement, such
as by vehicle, causes many beacons being transmitted and may cause a
frequency jam.
Be sure to have settings on TYPE1 when in high speed movement.
LOW SPD: If speed is lower than which is set, BEACONs are transmitted in time
intervals set in [SLOW RATE].
The units for speed can be set in Set mode option [9 APRS] [11 APRS
UNIT].
HIGH SPD: If speed is higher than which is set, BEACONs are transmitted in time
intervals set in [FAST RATE].
The units for speed can be set in Set mode option [9 APRS] [11 APRS
UNIT].
SLOW RATE: BEACON transmission time interval when speed decreases below the
[LOW SPD] setting.
FAST RATE: BEACON transmission time interval when speed increases above the
[HIGH SPD] setting.
TURN ANGL: Set the minimal value of changes in angle when the direction of
movement changes.
TURN SLOP: Set the coefficient for automatically altering the angle that judges changes
in the direction of movement according to speed.
65
Page 67
APRS Set mode function list
The higher the coefficient value setting, the greater the judgment angle is
when moving at slow speeds.
1 to 255 (X10)°/SPEED
(If the real number for units of rotating tilt is set to 1/10, this is the
same as the unit setting used in HamHUD Nichetronix, LLC series
transceivers.)
TURN TIME: Set the time limit until the next BEACON can be transmitted, after a
BEACON is transmitted upon detection of a change in time (Variable Rate
Beaconing) or direction (Corner Pedding).
Caution
z If SmartBeaconingTM is to be operated at different timings, the parameters of settings TYPE1 to
TYPE3 can be changed.
When changing parameters, be sure to adjust parameters of SmartBeaconing and DIGI PATH
settings for appropriate beacon transmission intervals to avoid communications channel congestion.
O 28 TIME ZONE
Set the time zone.
Setting Item: ± 13.0 hours
Default: UTC+0:00 hours
Explanation:
The time zone can be set in units of 30 minutes.
Time data from the GPS function is transmitted from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
