VX-8GR/GE OPERATING MANUAL 73
RECEIVING AN APRS BEACON
1. Set the “B-Band” to the APRS frequency. 144.390 MHz is generally used in North
America. If you don’t know the APRS frequency of your country, ask your dealer.
The AX.25 modem cannot be activated in the “A-Band”.
2. When an APRS beacon is received, the alert beep will sound.
3. Press the m key several times until the “STATION LIST”
screen appears on the display. The “STATION LIST” screen
will save up to 50 stations. The “STATION LIST” is sorted
according to the received times.
4. To confirm the details of the received beacon, rotate the
DIAL knob (or press the a/b keys) to select the de-
sired station, then press the B key. The “Received Data
and Time”, “Distance and Direction of the station”, and other
information will be displayed.
When the “Status Text” is included in the Mic Encoder Sta-
tion Beacon, the “ ” icon appears at the upper right corner
of the display.
Note: You may jump to the top of the “STATION LIST” by
pressing the 1 key.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob (or press the a/b keys) to scroll through additional lines
or pages of the received information.
Note: You may confirm additional received beacons by pressing the f key and then
rotating the DIAL knob (or pressing the a/b keys).
6. Press the M key to display the “Raw” data of the received APRS beacon.
7. When the confirmation is finished, press
the B key to return to the STATION
LIST screen.
1) When the VX-8GR/GE GPS
signal is interrupted; such as when
you enter into a tunnel, the display
maintains the direction on the compass icon,
distance to the received station and the posi-
tion information (Longitude/Latitude) at the
point where the GPS signal was lost.
2) When the APRS function is activated, the
VX-8GR/GE Receiver Battery Saver is tem-
porarily disabled.
