Tips
• If the [
APRS
] → [
1 APRS AF DUAL
] setting is set to ON in the Setup Menu, the receive audio will
continue to be heard without being interrupted by a received signal in the AF DUAL mode, even if
an APRS beacon or message is received on Band B. Switch to the APRS screen to check APRS
messages and information on received beacons.
• If the [
APRS
] → [
5 APRS MSG FLASH
] setting is set to ON in the Setup Menu, a strobe (white LED)
will flash when a message (MSG), group (GRP), or bulletin (BLN) is received.
• The receive audio (beacon or voice etc.) of Band B when the APRS is operating, in can be muted by
setting [
APRS
] → [
8 APRS MUTE
] to on in the Setup Menu.
• The display method and time when an APRS beacon is received can be set by the [
APRS
] → [
9
APRS POPUP
] setting in the Setup Menu.
• If the MSG in [
APRS
] → [
10 APRS RINGER
] is set to ON in the Setup Menu, an audio notification
will be given when a message / group message / bulletin message etc. addressed to your own APRS
station is received. If MSG is set to OFF, the message will appear in the display without any audio
alarm.
• Messages that differ only in the SSID that are addressed to your own station call sign can also
be received. However, a reply to the acknowledgment receipt will only be sent if all the characters
including the SSID are the same.
