APRS®initial settings
APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is a communication system to exchange
GPS location data and packet messages; it was developed and is supported by
Bob Bruninga (WB4APR). Position data may be entered manually in advance or
automatically from the built-in GPS satellite receiver.
When an APRS signal is received from a partner station, the direction, distance, speed
etc. of the partner station as seen from your own station will be shown on the display of
your transceiver.

APRS®initial settings
When operating APRS using the GPS function
When the GPS function is activated, the internal clock setting and location coordinates
of your own station will be acquired from the GPS satellite signals automatically. We
recommend that the GPS function be used in mobile operations.
1Press the key for one second or longer
The Set Mode Menu will appear.
2Touch [APRS]
3Turn the DIAL to select [20 GPS POWER] and touch it
on the display
4Turn the DIAL to select “GPS ON”
GPS ON: GPS function is usable.
GPS OFF: GPS function is not usable.
Reference Factory shipping value: GPS ON
5Press
To exit the set mode and return to the operating screen.
In order to use the GPS satellite data for your own position information, set [APRS] →
[24 MY POSITION] to “GPS”. If [24 MY POSITION], is set to “Manual”, the coordinates
registered in set menu “P1-P10” will be used by your transceiver for APRS operations,
and the acquired GPS data will become invalid.

Tips
• The position GPS coordinates for your own station can be registered in 10 memories (P1 - P10).
The registered coordinates can be set as the position information of your own station ( P.75).
• When using the GPS function in APRS operations, be sure to set [APRS] → [24 MY POSITION] to
“GPS”.
• When using the GPS function, the current consumed will increase by about 30 mA. As a result, the
battery standby time is about 20% shorter compared to when the GPS function is switched OFF.
• If dual receive is used while operating the GPS unit, the weak signals may not be audible due to
noise from the GPS unit.
When operating APRS without using the GPS function
When operating APRS without using the GPS function, follow the procedure below to
manually set the clock and position information.
ySetting the clock
If the internal clock of this device is set, the time will be reflected in the time display of
the APRS screen. Please refer to “Setting Clock Time” ( FT2DR Operating Manual
P.44) on how to set the time.
1Press the key for one second or longer
The Set Mode Menu will appear.

Setting your own station call sign
Register your own station call sign in order to send and receive messages and to
transmit beacons in APRS. Enter the call sign like “JA1ZRL-7”. The “-7” in the call sign
indicates the SSID (Secondary Station Identifier) of which there are 16 types, including
one with no SSID. Generally, the SSIDs shown in the table below are used in APRS.
SSID Description SSID Description
NIL Fixed stations that can exchange
messages
-8 Marine mobile stations, land mobile
stations
-1 1200 bps narrow-to-middle band
digipeater
-9 Using the FTM-400 etc. for mobile
applications
-2 9600 bps digipeater -10 I-Gate station, Internet connection station
-3 1200 bps broadband digipeater -11 Balloons, aircraft, spacecraft, etc.
-4 Digipeater, mobile station, meteorological
station, etc.
-12 1-way tracker station (messages cannot
be exchanged)
-5 Operation station using mobile devices
(smartphones etc.)
-13 Meteorological station (weather station)
-6 Operation station for satellite
communications, events, etc.
-14 Tracking mobile stations
-7 Use of FT2D etc. in handy terminals -15 Digipeater, mobile station, meteorological

screens
Refer to “Entering Letters” ( FT2DR Operating Manual
P.19) for instruction to enter the call sign.
Up to 6 digits can be entered for the call sign.
[If no SSID is set]
Proceed to Step 6 to set the SSID.
5Press
The call sign will be registered and the display returned to the operating screen.
[If a SSID is set]
6Touch [ ]
7Touch the SSID you want to set
We recommend that the SSID be set to “−7” in this
device.
8Press
The SSID will be registered and the display returned to
the operating screen.
Setting the APRS baud rate
This sets the APRS baud rate. If the baud rate is set to 1200 bps or 9600 bps, the APRS
function will be turned ON. If the baud rate is set to “OFF”, the APRS function will be
turned OFF.
If the baud rate is set to 1200 bps, APRS operations using AFSK 1200 bps packets will
be enabled.
If the baud rate is set to 9600 bps, APRS operations using GMSK 9600 bps packets will
be enabled.
