APRS® initial settings

APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is a communication system to exchange GPS location data and packet messages; it was developed and is supported by Bob Bruninga (WB4APR). Position data may be entered manually in advance or automatically from the built-in GPS satellite receiver.

When an APRS signal is received from a partner station, the direction, distance, speed etc. of the partner station as seen from your own station will be shown on the display of your transceiver.

When operating APRS using the GPS function

When the GPS function is activated, the internal clock setting and location coordinates of your own station will be acquired from the GPS satellite signals automatically. We recommend that the GPS function be used in mobile operations.

1Press and hold the [DISP] key → Touch [APRS] → [20 GPS POWER].

2Turn the DIAL to select “GPS ON”. GPS ON: GPS function is usable.

GPS OFF: GPS function is not usable.

Reference Factory shipping value: GPS ON

3Press the PTT.

To exit the set mode and return to the operating screen.

In order to use the GPS satellite data for your own position information, press and hold the [DISP] key → Touch [APRS] → [24 MY POSITION] to “GPS”. If [24 MY POSITION], is set to “Manual”, the coordinates registered in set menu “P1-P10” will be used by your transceiver for APRS operations, and the acquired GPS data will become invalid.

Tips

•The position GPS coordinates for your own station can be registered in 10 memories (P1 - P10). The registered coordinates can be set as the position information of your own station (page 58).

•When using the GPS function in APRS operations, be sure to set [APRS] → [24 MY POSITION] to “GPS”.

•When using the GPS function, the current consumed will increase by about 18 mA. As a result, the battery standby time is shorter compared to when the GPS function is set to OFF.

When operating APRS without using the GPS function

When operating APRS without using the GPS function, follow the procedure below to manually set the clock and position information.

yySetting the clock

If the internal clock of this device is set, the time will be reflected in the time display of the APRS screen. Please refer to “Setting Clock Time” (FT3DR/DE Operating Manual) on how to set the time.

1Press and hold the [DISP] key → Touch [APRS] → [21 GPS TIME SET].

2Turn the DIAL to select “MANUAL”.

3Press the PTT.

The GPS clock will be set to MANUAL and the set mode will be cancelled.

Setting the APRS baud rate

This sets the APRS baud rate. If the baud rate is set to 1200 bps or 9600 bps, the APRS function will be turned ON. If the baud rate is set to “OFF”, the APRS function will be turned OFF.

If the baud rate is set to 1200 bps, APRS operations using AFSK 1200 bps packets will be enabled.

If the baud rate is set to 9600 bps, APRS operations using GMSK 9600 bps packets will be enabled.

1Press and hold the [DISP] key → Touch [APRS] → [4 APRS MODEM].

2Turn the DIAL to set the APRS baud rate

The APRS baud rate can be selected from the following three options.

“OFF”, “1200 bps”, “9600 bps”

Remark Factory shipping value: OFF

3Press the PTT.

The baud rate sign will be set and the display returned to the operating screen.

Caution

Receiving APRS® beacons

This sets the operating frequency of the APRS before receiving a beacon.

Setting the APRS operating frequency
