Neat, thank you for posting these instrutions and someone linking this video on Facebook, I had no idea that SMSGTE existed, I was able to follow your instuctions on my FT2, to see how different it was vs the ft3, and I did not feel like swapping batteries as the on the FT3 was dead, so it's in the charger.

I assume you have the APRS modem on along with the GPS power also need to have the APRS frequency in the B slot wont run APRS in the A slot, Good job it was helpful I will have to try next time I am in range of the digipeater

@louismorrone3102 3 жыл бұрын

Can you elaborate on how to set this part up

@chiphungerford 3 жыл бұрын

@@louismorrone3102 if you check out this video it has a pretty good overview of the menus and function on the FT3DR. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKx7f8yg3NCyoKM.html . But to answer what I was saying make sure the lower or B VFO is tuned to 144.390 MHz then it is. For GPS power hold the”DISP” key, touch “APRS” menu, go to “20 GPS Power” hit DISP to select, Turn the dial knob to “GPS ON” press push to talk to go back do the same to get to “9 APRS Modem” turn the dial knob to “1200bps” and hit PTT now you should be working APRS. The issue will be that you need to be able to hit a digipeter for the sms or positioning to work as that is how you get back to the internet. If you go to “aprs.fi” you should be able to see your call sign on the map if you are reaching a repeater. Good luck I have issues from my location hitting a repeater and only show on the map when mobile closer to one of the locations.

Who is the control operator for the reply from the phone, and isnt it possible a non-ameture would reply, and how is that controlled and third-party traffic doxumented?

Thanks for this! I will be trying this on a Kenwood TH-D74 as the APRS in my Yaesu FT3D SUCKS. The Kenwood works flawlessly with the digipeater, but the Yaesu can't hit it.

Does this work in the middle of wilderness with no radio/cellfone towers? (Sorry if its a stupid question, im looking to get into HAM, som im trying to learn stuff before i buy a radio) I would love any benifits regarding hiking/tracking..

@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures 3 жыл бұрын

Kevin , yes it can work out hiking you can improve your chances by taking a a roll up J-pole or Slim-Jim antenna and getting it as high as possible and on top of peaks will help also. It alll really depends on the repeater systems in your area and a mobile radio with more power can also increase your chance. There are only a few radios that do APRS those that I know of are from Yaesu and Kenwood but Kenwood has discontinued a lot of their radios. You can also use a regular HT or mobile with 3rd party apps but I have never used them. I think Josh from Ham Radio crash course has a video on them.

Jay If I was to do it again I would get the ftm400 or the kenwood version. the reason would be for more output power to reach the repeaters easier.

I'm getting the same thing. I think it implies something is set up wrong, since it's the same beep you get if you try and transmit on FRS or other non-HAM bands.

So, after looking further in my settings, I found that I had the APRS modem turned off! Once I turned it back on, I was able to get this to work.
