FTM 200 APRS Basics 

This is helpful for learning how to adjust settings. But, I am new. I have no idea what APRS is or what I would use it for. So.... what is it?

Great vid!

I am a tech studying for general. Live in new neighborhood with strict HOA. I also spend 3-4 days a week at my parents caregiving for them 40 minutes away from home. I have been wanting to get HF rig to get on 10m ssb (techs can do that) and start setting up my digital packet stuff (FT8 and winlink). I wanted a rig and antenna I could setup and take down and move around and POTA. I saved up for an FT710 (ultimate HF rig) but it would have tapped out my funds (no money left for antennas and POTA stuff). I have been watching vids on Xiegu G90. Portable, has great antenna tuner, waterfall, does digital without too much hassle, has 20w (which is way better then 5w of most portable QRP rigs). I found a super clean used G90 with a bunch of extras would have ran me about $650 new, got for $420. So, getting a Nelson EFHW and setting up me first HF. Very excited. KD9IRA

Another great tips video. So, does A12 mean that it's at 1200 baud rate? And does the LOG also have to be showing next to the GPS symbol. Thanks for sharing. KC3UEE

Hey, great vid. Could you demonstrate how receiving and transmitting beacons work while A band is busy? FTM-100 had serious issue with dual watch, which rendered simultaneous repeater & APRS work impossible. Is this truly fixed in FTM-200?

can the APRS freq be in a memory channel, or is it forced to be in VFO mode?

What power adapter do you use for in the house?

Just got me a used G90. U got HF yet?

Looks like Yaesu has complicated APRS. Ugg.
