bh4gaf commented 7 months ago

1.add "device infomation" edit in U.info for APRS. 2.add "APRS SSID" edit in U.info for APRS. only 0-7 optional for now. (http://aprs.org/aprs11/SSIDs.txt) 3.add "APRS Symbol" edit in U.info for APRS. very useful. (http://aprs.org/symbols/symbols-new.txt) 4.why does APRS MSG and GPS take two diffrent channels (#169/170). i dont get it. maybe APRS#1/2? Local/Satellite? 5.more APRS GPS Coordinate group settings in U.info memu be better. ex GPS#1\2\3...

Hello Ian,

I was wondering if there might be a feature available or in development that enables APRS to transmit packets automatically upon selecting the channel where the APRS frequency is stored, similar to M169 (Message) and M170 (GPS). Additionally, it would be quite convenient if there were settings that allow for automatic transmission, perhaps with options for intervals such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes.

Thank you and regards, 73 Sean N7SIX

with only 1 GPS coordinate, i think automatic transmission every 1 hour is ok.

Absolutely right! As GPS coordinates can only be stored once, it would indeed be beneficial to include a feature that automatically transmits them every hour. Additionally, it would be valuable if these transmissions were accompanied by audible packets, allowing us to hear and confirm each transmission.

more GPS coordinates is useful. i can set more coordinates like home/office1/office2/camp1/camp2... i remember KD8CEC put a GPS chip in UV-K5 to work with APRS. im very interesting.
