Each time new APRS data is received, the frequency display is interrupted to show information as below:
STA CON | 96 BCONDUP |
5 7 9
Position comment (or status text)
•The received APRS data may include information on an object such as a hurricane or tornado. In this case, the name of the object appears instead of a call sign.
•The transceiver restores the frequency display after approximately 10 seconds pass or when you press any key.
Note: When you receive APRS data that you transmitted, the frequency display is not interrupted. “MY PACKET” will appear at the bottom of the display. This could happen when one or more digipeaters {page 72} are used.
If a received packet does not include new (or proper) APRS data, the frequency display is not interrupted. An indicator such as “dP” appears depending on the types of data. See the table.

1The transceiver automatically transmits the appropriate information in approximately 2 minutes after receiving a request.
Note: The APRS programs for PCs have entry fields for a position comment and status text. The data entered to these two fields are transmitted as separate packets.
This transceiver beeps each time it receives new or duplicate APRS data. You may access Menu
