Kenwood RC-D710 - Manual (Page 57)

APRS-17
Note:
◆
When the built-in data band is set to cross band, the Voice Alert
function does not operate.
◆ Voice alert takes precedence even when TONE, CTCSS and
DCS are set.
◆ When Voice alert is ON, you cannot perform TONE or CTCSS
frequency selection and DCS code selection.
◆ When the packet speed is 9600 bps, the TONE will disrupt the
demodulation of the packet. Set the packet speed to 1200 bps
when using Voice Alert.
WEATHER STATION DATA OUTPUT
Enter Menu mode and access Menu 615.
■ Transmit
This setting determines whether or not to transmit the
meteorological data obtained from the Weather Station,
with the APRS data communication.
■ Transmit Interval Time
Set the interval at which the meteorological data is
transmitted with the APRS data communication.
The interval can be set to 5, 10, or 30 minutes.
• The following meteorological data is transmitted:
• Rainfall
• Air temperature
• Wind direction
• Wind velocity
• Atmospheric pressure
• Humidity
• This data is transmitted with the APRS standard format
(latitude/longitude and time information).
• You can verify the meteorological data being output by
viewing MY WEATHER STATION. (Press [F], [WXi])
SETTING AS A DIGIPEATER
■ DIGIPEAT
Enter Menu mode and access Menu 616.
When using the RC-D710 as a digipeater, set whether
or not you digipeat a packet which includes your
callsign in the packet path.
In the received packet path, if you have set your
callsign in MY CALLSIGN (Menu No. 600), the digipeat
completion flag ( ) is added to your callsign and will
then process the relay. (For example, “JA1YKX-1”
>
“JA1YKX-1 ”.)
■ UICHECK
Enter Menu mode and access Menu 617.
This function will not relay a one-time received UI frame
within the set UICHECK time. This is effective for each of
UIDIGI, UIFOOD, and UITRACE.
UI frame (Unnumbered Information frame)
Data can be transferred and the APRS beacon, etc., can
be used without making a connection. UIDIGI, UIFLOOD,
and UITRACE are all specialized UI frame relay processing
modes.
■ UIDIGI
Enter Menu mode and access Menu 618.
When using the RC-D710 as a digipeater, set whether
or not UI digipeat is run.
When receiving a UI frame that matches your entered
character string alias (RELAY, WIDE 1-1, etc.) of the
beginning part of the packet path that has not yet been
digipeated, the digipeat completion flag ( ) is added to
your callsign (the callsign you set up in MY CALLSIGN)
and the relay will begin processing. (For example
“WIDE 1-1”
> “JA1YKX-1 ”, etc.)
1 Rotate the Tuning control to switch the function ON,
then press the Tuning control.
2 Rotate the Tuning control to select “ ALIASES”, then
press the Tuning control.
• The display for entering a path appears; the first digit
blinks.
• You can enter 0 to 9, A to Z, , (comma), and –.
