Receiving APRS Beacons

Convenient functions

A special notification bell can be rung when a beacon from an APRS station or one
within a specific range is received.
● Notification of incoming beacon from a specified station (call sign ringer)
Register the call sign under [APRS]
ring ON/OFF under [9 APRS RINGER]
By registering the call sign of an APRS station that you want to check, a special bell will
ring when a beacon is received from that station.
A maximum of up to 8 stations can be registered.
● Checking if there are other stations within the specified range (range ringer)
The range to be checked and the bell ring can be set ON/OFF under [APRS]
APRS RINGER]
A special bell will ring when an APRS station in the station list enters the set range.
A special bell will also ring when a beacon from an APRS station lying within the set
range is received.
The checking range can be set at a radius between 1 km and 100 km from your own
station. The range ringer function will be turned off when the range is set at 0 km.
Tip
The call sign ringer bell will ring when the call sign ringer and range ringer functions are in operation
at the same time and a partner station that satisfies both conditions is detected (the call sign ringer
function takes priority).
