- This is a video demonstration on using the FTM-100, or the FTM-100dr for APRS. I also show how to send a text message using APRS using the SMSGTE Callsign.

Thanks for a clear and easily understood walk-through on this process. I installed one of these radios a while back, but haven't played with APRS. While it doesn't seem terribly useful for me, I might experiment a bit now.
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Kylan Ali Instablaster =)
@Carl Leon Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Carl Leon it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
@Kylan Ali you are welcome =)
I can find loads of information on how to send a text message through SMSGTE, however, nowhere explains how the other end of your transmission is handled. So you are sending a radio transmission. Where is that transmission received? How do I know if there is an SMSGTE gateway out there? Where do I find this information?
Good job with the explanation on how to use text msg with the radio.
Thanks for the video. Since you do satellite APRS, can you tell me if you can manually set a path for ARISS on this radio? I only see wide1-1 and wide2-1 in your video.
I noticed something that was driving me nuts on my FTM-100 is happening on yours too. 12 seconds in it is clear you are in FM mode. After sending a message your radio is in DN mode. I am having the same trouble and have to manually switch back to FM every time I send a message. What I don’t know is if things simply will continue to work if I leave it on DN…
I had to sell the radio a few years ago, but I actually hadn't noticed it.
Just Unboxed mine. Power supply by 9:00 PM thanks no one is making videos on this nice radio. Yes for $ 1000 more there is a better one.
Hello, i have new radio. But have problem.Question.Why does not send aprs packets from yaesu ftm-100dr.
I even checked it several times.
I accept all packages.
But my station does not send. That's what I want to configure.
So APRS is an ‘all or nothing’ feature? I can’t find any documentation saying as to whether I can receive while sending out APRS beacons. It wouldn’t have taken much to design the radio to temporarily disable the APRS modem when PTT is triggered. Making this a much more useful option. Again, if this is a limitation.
go to yaesu and download the ftm100 aprs manual .....definitely documented very well
@@dewroc66 I can do both with mine. th-cam.com/video/_1gxYEErtAU/w-d-xo.html
Hello, could you ask me a question? Is this radio made in China or Japan?
Japan. Yaesu is a Japanese manufacturer, and they're one of the better ones.
@@hoverbeaver tks!
Thanks to the video! I just bought my 100dr today. And I wandering that how to standing -by both A and B channel? Is there any way to dual-standby? This is BI4KLY,73!
If I have no fusion digital repeaters in my region can I still use the aprs text function?
halo1589 yes APRS is analog FM
Do you use this FTM100 as just a mobile APRS station or for talking as well? I’m thinking of getting one to have in the car as just a APRS station.
I use it as APRS sometimes, other times just voice. And sometimes I even pull it out to use for SAT work. I think it would work well as a always on Aprs radio.
ModernHam well I just got the go ahead from my wife to get one. I’m just gonna use it as a dedicated APRS receiver and transmitter for the car. And then I’ll have my FTM-400 for voice. Kinda overkill, but I don’t like both running on the same radio.
I wonder if the phone can text back to the radio.
It can
Cool thanks
I have the FTM-100. I have try the SMS text to my iPhone as a Experiment
looking for a low cost Linear amplifier one day not now.
I got mine for Wires-X
Or is it better? Think not!
Hi! Nice Video! Could you make a new video with the default settings on the service menu (the hidden settings)?. Following these instructions, you can access. I probably made some mistakes and I would like to fix it!. The instructions are available on these sites: radioaficion.com/cms/ftm-100d-alignment/ www.hamoperator.com/Fusion/FusionFiles/K9EQ-FUSION-PDF-0026_FTM-100_Power_Adj.pdf Note that previously, you must set the second display into the default setting. Thank you! 73´s from LU1YES
Why would someone want or need to send a text message with this radio? Aren't smart phones better at that type of communications?
Not if you don't have cell signal.
To get a message out when the grid is down like after a hurricane
worse than T9 entries :)
