Tips
• When the APRS beacon transmit is changed to [AUTO], the timer for the automatic beacon transmit
interval is reset, and the count for the automatic beacon interval begins. When the set time is
reached the initial beacon will be transmitted.
• Even in [AUTO] beacon transmit, transmission of a beacon may be forced by pressing [F MW]
followed by [BCN-TX] if you are operating in the frequency screen. (if you are in the APRS
STATION LIST screen or APRS STATION LIST detail screen, touch
instead).
The automatic transmit timer is reset if the beacon transmit is forced.
• If the squelch is open when the specified time has passed to transmit a beacon, the beacon
transmission is delayed. The beacon will be sent when the squelch is closed.
