This video covers two aspects of APRS; How to send an SMS text message to a cell phone and How to send an email using your APRS radio. Both features can be a vital role in emergency communications when no other forms of comms are available and one that a beginner Technician license holder can do.

    • @ka6ete217
      @ka6ete217 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In a way yes, while the signal doesn't go any further, with it being a digital packet of sorts it is easily decoded where a voice communication would be unintelligible.

      What didn't work, SMS or Email? If it was SMS (texting), that option is currently unavailable using any APRS radio due to the SMSGTE being taken offline with the most recent changes from the FCC and business' spamming the system. I need to find time to update the video to reflect the issue with SMS.

    Great Video. We will be providing Aid Station Communucations for a 100 mile race in a rural state park using 2m simplex. My specific aid station is in a valley and I will be using the cross band repeat on the D710GA this year to solve a couple issues. One being tied to the radio/genset/lifepo4 at the station. If a runner is hurt on the trail previously we would have to relay via HT’s or wait for in person reporting back to the aid station to send out over 2m back to net control. Cross band repeat will allow for more efficient communication from aid stations back to net control. 73’s.

    • @ka6ete217
      @ka6ete217 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you, using T SQL serves a few purposes: 1. Prevents someone from unknowingly transmitting on a repeater or getting confused if they hear the repeater, if that’s the configuration you have set up. 2. If someone uses your crossband knowingly or unknowingly against FCC regulations you can be held partially responsible. 3. Helps with duty cycle by limiting the number of users on the crossband repeater. While it may be unlikely to be on the same simplex frequency it is a possibility.

    Thanks for showing the functions of the mic buttons. I prefer when watching a video to listen to the commentary. I find reading the text more difficult than reading the same thing in a manual where the text stays in place instead of changing for the next feature. I do hope you will take my comment in a constructive manner. Thanks again for posting this.

    • @ka6ete217
      @ka6ete217 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Could be a couple different things, depending on what you have your APRS settings at. You may be hitting a digipeater but not an iGate. If you are not already try the APRS setting of "Wide 1-1, Wide 2-1". It may be a simple as increasing the number of hops the packet will go before ending depending on how saturated the area is.

    As I was saving Chanel slot 20 on my Kenwood TH-D710GA as my dedicated APRS channel I somehow LOCKED the A-side of my transceiver to APRS & now I can’t change the channel! I hit F & then held MR down...then it locked. It forces me to use the B-Side to scroll through my other channels. I held F down for a second or so to see if that was the lock I needed to disengage but it wasn’t that one. I also checked the memory settings to see if I can unlock the radio that way but that lock was turned off. I don’t know how to unlock the A-Side now. Help! 🤷🏻‍♂️
