This was super helpful and very relatable with the FTM300. I have been trying to figure out the quickest way to message while on-the-go. Just started doing APRS, so still need to polish my skills, thanks again for your helpful video! 73!

the ability to have a bluetooth or USB keyboard, or even a phone app bluetoothed to the radio would be really nice for APRS messaging. It's no wonder a lot of people only see APRS as a tracking product since the radio mfgs don't give easy inputs for messaging or other APRS functions.

Thank you for showing the APRS messaging features of the radio. The saved messages are very nice too band you cannot type like the FTM-400.

Love the way you go in depth on a single piece of gear across several videos. So much more useful than a simple unboxing video. 73 KD9VMP

Wish I had a new FTM-200 to use. I have owned the FTM-100 then a -400DR and never got good with the APRS. The desire to own a -200 or -300 is strong!

This video is right on time. I have been trying to figure out how to send messages for almost a month, and failing miserably. I finally surrendered in total defeat. A quick tip that I did find out is, when you're at the message input screen, you can also turn the dial to the left, past the letter A, it will take you to the bottom right of the screen, to the move cursor back button. It's kinda like PAC-MAN/MS-PAC-MAN videogame screen. Thanks for sharing.
