• You may press [ESC] to restore the previous display.

5Press [LIST] twice to restore the frequency display.

You may want to delete all information of the desired station. Press [A/B] instead of [OK] in step 3 or 4. “DELETE?” appears. Press [OK] to delete the information.

To delete the information of all stations, press [A/B] (1 s) in step 2. “DELETE ALL?” appears. Press [OK]. Then “ARE YOU OK?” appears. Press [OK] again to delete the information.

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).
