<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi All,
A local ham, who has never ventured into either APRS nor DMR has asked
me if this radio would work on our analog (144.390) aprs network. I
don't know anyone who owns one.
Thank you, 73

<p><font face="Arial">On the digital side, this radio can send GPS
position data to another similar radio, and request position
data from another radio. It does this on-demand -- there is no
auto-beaconing. Note that this is GPS position data -- but it
is NOT APRS.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">On the analog FM side,it </font><font
face="Arial"><font face="Arial">functions as a dumb (or should I
say deaf) transmit-only tracker. </font> it CAN send
standard periodic automatic APRS-format position beacons. There
is NO receive capability for APRS. This website describes how
to set up APRS on the analog side of the radio. It even links
to a page on my website for the APRS symbol selection chart.</font></p>

<p><font face="Arial">Again, note that all it can do is SEND
position beacons. It can not send APRS messages, or receive
anything APRS.</font></p>

<p><font face="Arial">The radio is dual-band with dual receive; i.e.
you can monitor U/V , V/V or U/U. I have no idea how it would
handle VHF APRS auto-beacons on one side, if the other side is
also on VHF.<br>
