Quick Setup of how to get APRS running on the FTM-300

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to make a quick video on how to get up and running with APRS on the FTM-300. Didn't dive to deep into all the settings but just enough to get you up and running.

The best on video on the FTM330DR APRS that I have seen so far.

[@davidburdell5964]

can you have the screen that you had up at the end where it tells you the info of the last station received and talk on the A band? I do this with my 400 i can talk on a band while b band runs aprs. Thanks

[@VA1MRT]

Yes you can, while in mobile I have my aprs set to the B band and watch the incoming beacons come in while my A band monitors my node or local repeater

[@JobGreg]

Very well done. I could set up my FTM-300DR. How do you get a APRS call sign?

[@VA1MRT]

You just use your call sign but depending on your situation then the number changes. For example I use -9 since I'm mobile most of the time.

[@AdamBoettiger]

Yes but how do we connect it to Winlink on a PC?

[@VA1MRT]

That's a good Question. I would like to look into that myself. It's something I've thought about.

[@ArthurDodge]

Unfortunately, you can’t. You can output received data from the TNC, but you can’t send anything to the TNC to be transmitted. For Winlink, you will need an external TNC or sound card adapter like a Mobilinkd TNC.

[@VA1MRT]
