Walkaround solution: AprsDroid, if an Android phone, a Mobilinkd TNC and any H/T with the proper patch coax.

I’m using a TNC3 and aprsis32. Benefits being I can walk around camp and still view and transmit aprs data. The Kenwoods often have true TNC’s, but also lack touch screens and modern looks. It’s

Unfortunately, you were sold a "bill of goods" by Yaesu and poor reviewers like the ARRL. The Yaesu radios are not capable of TX from an attached computer they only have a built in tracker and the

I’ve been able to fetch tiles for the whole province of Alberta right down to street level manually within about 5 minutes maximum. That’s a fairly large area in a short amount of time, and with

Yaesu's APRS system is proprietary and isn't hackable that I know of. Its use with programs like APRSISCE and others is problematic at best. Chris -----------------------------------------From: "Greg

ok, thank you very much. Is there a better radio that would allow for receive and transmit? josh KB6VTU

The tncs inside yaesu radios are locked down and inaccessible for transmitting with a computer. The only way to transmit with a Yaesu is to use either the sound card method such as you would with

Yes Lynn and group. Yea how could this be done offline. Can one retrieve tiles by way of RF in the software program? Thanks --- -During World War 1 & 2. Hams could not do what in the USA? - In the

so I went out and got a passphrase. I can send messages over the internet to the radio, but I can't send messages through the radio when I turn the internet connection off. If I try to send a message

Hi group and Lynn, This sathurday, I'll be using APRSIS32 offline (without internet access) for an national earthquaqe exercice and need to fetch tiles for an entire region. Is there a way to fetch

The APRS-IS passcode is only used to send messages into the APRS-IS (Internet System). Your RF "passcode" is your Ham license... I don't know the FTM400 specifically, but in general Yaesu

Maybe it's the APRS passcode, but I don't know what that is or where I get it?

Hi, I've setup my FTM-400XDR with APRSISCE and it receives fine. I just can't get it to transmit messages? Is there anything obvious that I might be missing? I keep trying to configure the radio

Ok, now I'm really confused. In the first paragraph, you say you're using AGW with a sound card connection. But in the second paragraph you say that the FTM-100DR has a callsign-SSID now
