APRS/GPS S
APRS/GPS Set Mode Item 15: DIGI PATH
Function: Sets the APRS packet path you wish to path through.
Available Values: P1: OFF
Default: P3: WIDE1-1, WIDE2 -1
Note: The default setting (WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1) is the value assumed for the popular
New-N Paradigm system that is most often used. The first digipeater relays the APRS
signal according to the setting of the WIDE1-1, and then the second digipeater relays the
APRS signal according to setting of the WIDE2-1. If you want to use another repeating
system, select the desired pass number (P4 - P8), then input the Callsign or Alias of that
digipeater. See page 87 for details of the digipeater path setting.

digipeater path settings.
APRS/GPS Set Mode Item 16: GPS DATUM

Function: Selects the units for GPS information.
Available Values: Position: .MMM'/ 'SS", Speed: km/h/knot/mph, Altitude: m/ft
Default: Depends on the transceiver version.
Note: The "Position" item selects the coordinate system. When the "Position" item is set
to ".MMM'", the VX-8DR/DE displays the location (Lat/Lon) in "ddd° mm. mmm" (Deci-
mal system). When the "Position" item is set to "'SS"", the VX-8DR/DE displays the
location (Lat/Lon) in "ddd° mm ss" (Sexagesimal System). The position information
used during APRS operation is used to display the location (Lat/Lon) in Sexagesimal
System, regardless of this Set Mode setting.
