RECEIVING APRS DATA

Each time a new APRS packet is received, the frequency
display is interrupted to show information as below:
Status text
The received APRS packet may include information on an
object such as a hurricane or tornado. In this case, the name
of the object appears instead of a callsign.
Press [MSG] to send a message to the station.
Press [DETAIL] to access further information.
To restore the frequency display, press [ESC] or just wait for
approximately 10 seconds.
Note:
◆ When you receive an APRS packet including an "EMERGENCY"
comment, a different format of display from the above will appear
and a different beep will sound.
◆ When you receive an APRS position packet that you transmitted,
the frequency display is interrupted and "MY POSITION" will
appear on the display. This could happen when one or more
digipeaters are used. (When setting Menu No. 625 (DISPLAY
AREA) to "ENTIRE", "HALF", or "OFF", the call sign of the
digipeater station will not display.)
◆ If you receive a message that you transmitted, "MY MESSAGE"
will appear.
You can change the interrupt screen display setting through
Menu No. 625 (DISPLAY AREA). When set to "OFF", the
frequency display is not interrupted. An indicator such as "dP"
appears, depending on the type of data. Refer to the table for
details.

The transceiver automatically transmits the appropriate
information in approximately 2 minutes after receiving a request.
Note:
◆ The APRS programs for PCs have entry fields for a position
comment and status text. The data entered to these two fields are
transmitted as separate packets. This transceiver, however, includes
both of a position comment and status text in one packet to transmit.
◆ This transceiver beeps each time it receives any type of APRS
packet. You may access Menu 624 (AUDIO - RX BEEP) to
change this setting. The default is "ALL".
