Hello, I will report more later but right now I have discovered a bug in the APRS reporting firmware (by mistake) on RT3s with old (Jumpstar) GPS. I did factory reset of the radio settings unintentionally by pushing on SK2 when turning it on (there is no confirmation). I have fixed all settings from...

Nope, default APRS mode after a reset is OFF. You are right, now I remember. In that case I am just afraid the forum will be flooded by "help, my APRS stopped working" messages once you publish new firmware even with big bold warning about that in release notes. ...Also, the "Channel" in APRS seems...

Hi, unfortunately I was not able to get the firmware before driving today, I will test it tomorrow or on Monday in this condition. So far some tests I made with "old" RT3s (imprecise module). If I am not mistaken, default APRS mode after settings reset is Manual, I guess PTT (to make it backwards co...

OK, thanks for explanation, those things I could do next week soonest, or if everything goes well, during the weekend (car drive).

Hi, I am not sure what type do you need, periodic APRS sending? I am stuck at home for a few days with COVID but could put the RT3s radio on window sill and run direwolf (besides having local APRS gateway in reach) and just check it later. But if it requires some minimum distance change to function,...

1. Coordinates of the repeater or whatever else (in this case hotspot) the channel settings specifies 2. Distance to the channels with coordinates is displayed on the bottom line of the screen (if no distance is available, you will see --- km) 3. Does not have to matter, location can be set manually...

It is in the first post:

The password is the release version

R2023.09.21.01

The numbers indicate speed coefficient of the voice prompt (1.0 is normal speed, 2.0 is twice as fast)

I totally agree, even if one wants to fit different GPS module and buy radio without GPS, it is better to buy a radio model which has at least space in casing and soldering pads broken out for GPS. I only bought this radio besides my other ones to use it as hotspot in future originally. As a final q...

Yes, it could be even possible to use phone app for that and K to phone cables exist for around $15. But I was just not sure if this was the only use, maybe SQ9KCU waned to use it DMR in call positioning (DMR repeaters are quite widespread in PL) or satellite predictions as well.
