Explanation:
Set the automatic transmit interval for transmission of APRS beacons.
• Set the Set mode option [APRS] → [16 BEACON TX] to [AUTO]. The timer for
transmission is reset when the automatic transmit interval is set.
From this point, the count for interval time begins, and the initial beacon is
automatically transmitted when the specified time is reached.
• If squelch is active when the interval for automatic beacon transmission is reached,
the transmission is stopped.
The beacon is transmitted when squelch is deactivated.
• If SMART is selected in [APRS] → [16 BEACON TX], the setting for BEACON
INTERVAL is ignored.
