Terrific, Really. I can pull up this vid in the car and walk right through the setup. Brilliant. Please DO the group messaging portion you said you'd go back to. Also, you skipped a couple of the other options and didn't explain what they did and why you didn't use them. But still, great job. Really.
Excellent walk through of the APRS at a slow enough pace and it helped a lot. I am confused between the SMART beaconing and AUTO. If you programed your radio then isn't AUTO best? When would I want the SMART beaconing? Thanks, KE0YRZ
Good day. Enjoy your videos. My question is I’m purchasing the 400XDR and wondering if the APRS can be displayed on a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 or equivalent in map mode? TIA.
Not sure about outputting to an external GPS but you can fairly easily output the received packets to a tablet or laptop with APRS software like APRSISCE/32 to track and display other APRS stations.
Make sure the squelch is set and your are not TX'ing a beacon when packet is being received. I tend to use Smat beaconing. Which enable you to TX a position manually.
Great video! Thanks for helping me out! Again!!!
Excellent walk-through! Really appreciate not having to sit through 30 minutes of chit chat......instead you got right to it. Thank-you!!
Thanks for the great video and detailed explanation! My 400XD just arrived today and this was a big help.

Very informative. Thank you. I am new to Yaesu and APRS. I also have an Anytone 578. This helped me set up my FTM300 to go in my wife's car. KI5LNU

My display says it's a ftm 400xd on top in orange and I ordered the ftm 400xdr is this right
does this ft-400xd have a built in SWR calibration/etc n8duk Ron
Is it possible to output the station data to an external GPS to track other APRS stations?

How do you get it to say "APRS" above the 144.390? Is it that you cannot name it unless it's a "MEM Channel"? Thanks! 73
That is correct, must be saved in Memory in order to name it.
@@ka6ete217 Doesn't it make you plug in offsets and tones if it's a memory channel?
@@ka6ete217 Thanks. Did it with programming software. I appreciate the quick response. 73/K7KWW
You’re welcome, glad to hear you got it programmed in.
I have enabled auto beacon and when i press beacon tx it shows tx error what am i doing wrong? Thx
Make certain you have a gps fix. Either from gps satellites or manually set.
