Using the APRS Function

What is the APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System)?

Although there are several functions that display position information using GPS in
amateur radios, the APRS is data communication system that transmits data such
as position information and messages using a format proposed by Bob Bruninga of
WB4APR.
Upon receiving an APRS signal from the remote station, information such as direction
and distance to the remote station from your station and speed of the remote station
appear on the LCD of your transceiver.
Example of display when APRS signal is received
The settings (initial settings) such as callsign and symbol for your station must be
applied before using the APRS function.
For details, refer to the APRS function instruction manual (please download it from our
company website).
