Using APRS on the FTM-100DR and Sending a Text with SMSGTE 

I can find loads of information on how to send a text message through SMSGTE, however, nowhere explains how the other end of your transmission is handled. So you are sending a radio transmission. Where is that transmission received? How do I know if there is an SMSGTE gateway out there? Where do I find this information?

Just Unboxed mine. Power supply by 9:00 PM thanks no one is making videos on this nice radio. Yes for $ 1000 more there is a better one.

Thanks for the video. Since you do satellite APRS, can you tell me if you can manually set a path for ARISS on this radio? I only see wide1-1 and wide2-1 in your video.

Hello, i have new radio. But have problem.Question.Why does not send aprs packets from yaesu ftm-100dr. I even checked it several times. I accept all packages. But my station does not send. That's what I want to configure.

So APRS is an ‘all or nothing’ feature? I can’t find any documentation saying as to whether I can receive while sending out APRS beacons. It wouldn’t have taken much to design the radio to temporarily disable the APRS modem when PTT is triggered. Making this a much more useful option. Again, if this is a limitation.

Thanks to the video! I just bought my 100dr today. And I wandering that how to standing -by both A and B channel? Is there any way to dual-standby? This is BI4KLY，73！

I have the FTM-100. I have try the SMS text to my iPhone as a Experiment

Hello, could you ask me a question? Is this radio made in China or Japan?

If I have no fusion digital repeaters in my region can I still use the aprs text function?

worse than T9 entries :)

I wonder if the phone can text back to the radio.

I got mine for Wires-X

Or is it better? Think not!

Why would someone want or need to send a text message with this radio? Aren't smart phones better at that type of communications?

I noticed something that was driving me nuts on my FTM-100 is happening on yours too. 12 seconds in it is clear you are in FM mode. After sending a message your radio is in DN mode. I am having the same trouble and have to manually switch back to FM every time I send a message. What I don’t know is if things simply will continue to work if I leave it on DN…

Hi! Nice Video! Could you make a new video with the default settings on the service menu (the hidden settings)?. Following these instructions, you can access. I probably made some mistakes and I would like to fix it!. The instructions are available on these sites: radioaficion.com/cms/ftm-100d-alignment/ www.hamoperator.com/Fusion/FusionFiles/K9EQ-FUSION-PDF-0026_FTM-100_Power_Adj.pdf Note that previously, you must set the second display into the default setting. Thank you! 73´s from LU1YES

Good job with the explanation on how to use text msg with the radio.

looking for a low cost Linear amplifier one day not now.

Do you use this FTM100 as just a mobile APRS station or for talking as well? I’m thinking of getting one to have in the car as just a APRS station.

Thanks for a clear and easily understood walk-through on this process. I installed one of these radios a while back, but haven't played with APRS. While it doesn't seem terribly useful for me, I might experiment a bit now.
