<p><font face="Arial">I just realized you are referring to the
AT-D878 II Plus. I was talking about the earlier non-Plus
version. The manual for the earlier version makes no mention
of APRS, particularly on receive. Some web sites (as I cited
previously) say it can be made to transmit analog FM APRS
beacons. <br>

<p><font face="Arial">Apparently, the Plus version CAN both send
and receive APRS posits, although a lot of users are finding
it difficult to set up. Apparently, you must have the
configuration/setup software for the PC, and the oddball
connecting cable to do it. I don't know if it has any
messaging capability ala a Kenwood APRS handheld. </font><br>

<p>Just downloaded the latest version of the manual for the
AT-D878-xxxx which covers at least FIVE versions of this radio.
the current manual provides this convenient features comparison
matrix: Be sure what version we are talking about when it comes
to APRS capability..... <br>
