27
example: GBAUD 4800
Determines the GPS port bit-rate.
4800 for 4800 bps. 9600 for 9600 bps.
Refer also to chapter 5-3-1. 4800 is recommended for NMEA compatible GPS units, 9600 for SONY GPS.
Remember that this command sets bit-rate only, and is not related to the firmware of the device. The firmware
checks SONY/NMEA GPS data by processing the contents of the receiving data.
5-6-2: LPATH command
Abbrev: LPATH default: GPS parameter: destination’s callsign (may be combined with V for relay up to 8
stations)
example: LPA GPS VIA RELAY,WIDE
This is an UNPROTO compatible command used for GPS beacon transmissions. Use this to set the digipeater’s
callsign(s). See APRS software documentation for more information on the path of your beacons.
5-6-3: LOCATION command
Abbrev. LOC default: EVERY 0 parameter: EVERY/AFTER 0-250
example: LOC E 1
This command determines the interval at which the LTEXT contents will be sent out as a beacon. This is a
similar command to BEACON in the conventional packet command set.
5-6-4 LTEXT command
Abbrev. LT default: none parameter: up to 160 letters.
Example: LTEXT text of LT
LT% (to empty the content)
LTEXT buffer contents will be transmitted as a beacon at the interval set with the location command. Nothing
will be transmitted if the LTEXT buffer is empty. Use % to empty the buffer. By using the LTEXT command, you
can manually insert text to be beaconed. The LTEXT buffer can also be filled automatically by specifying a GPS
output string using the GPSTEXT command and connecting a GPS unit.
5-6-5 LTMON command
Abbrev.: LTM default:0 parameter: 0-250
example: LTMON 5
The LTEXT contents can be sent to the computer and seen on the monitor as if it were received over the air. The
LTMON command specifies the output interval in units of 1 second. The output won’t occur when “0” is set as a
parameter. Viewing the content of the LTEXT buffer is possible by using the LTEXT command but it could be
difficult depending on which terminal software is being used and may cause the wireless modem to function.
5-6-6 LTMHEAD command << IMPORTANT>>
Abbrev. LTMH default: ON parameter: ON/OFF
example: LTMHEAD OFF
This command determines if a header (such as a call sign) is added with the LTMON command. With this
parameter ON, it outputs all information just as other beacons are received, however, SET THIS PARAMETER
OFF FOR APRS use; otherwise the position of your station may not be read.
5-6-7 GPSTEXT
command
Abbrev. GPST default: $PNTS parameter: up to 6 letters
Example: GPST $GPRMC
When the initial part of the input data received by GPS port and the GPSTEXT command match, the GPS input
