The types of information accessible in step 4 differ depending on the types of stations. For details, see the next page.

Note:

◆When data from the 41st station is received, the oldest data in memory is replaced by that data.

◆Each time new APRS data is received from the same station, the old data from that station (in memory) is replaced by new data.

◆When APRS data is received with a GPS receiver connected, included position data is sent to the receiver; the NMEA-0183 ($GPWPL) format is used. This data is registered in the Waypoint List of the receiver; the right 6 digits of the call sign is used as a name (ex. for KJ6HC-3, J6HC-3).
