The information is based on data froma GPS satellite receiver unit.Set STATUS to TYPE1, TYPE2 or TYPE3; set [APRS] → [24 MY POSITION] to GPS;and set [APRS] → [16 BEACON TX] to [SMART ] to activate the SmartBeaconing TMfunction. (Operation is also possible by touching in the APRS MESSAGE LIST orAPRS STATION LIST screen and then touching the [BEACON]).If “ ” appears on the top-right corner of the APRS STATION LIST screen,SmartBeaconing TM is in operation.STATUS: SmartBeaconing TM only operates when STATUS is set to TYPE1,TYPE2, or TYPE3.Set STATUS to OFF to deactivate SmartBeacon TM.The SmartBeaconing function on this transceiver has 3 different settings(TYPE 1 to TYPE 3) and has preset initial values postulated to be used inthe following operation.TYPE1: High speed movement, such as by vehicle.TYPE2: Medium speed movement, such as by bicycle.TYPE3: Low speed movement, such as by walking.TYPE 2 and TYPE 3 settings (particularly TYPE 3) transmits many beaconsin a short period of time even if in comparatively slow movement.Because of this, using these setting during high speed movement, suchas by vehicle, causes many beacons being transmitted and may cause afrequency jam.Be sure to have settings on TYPE1 when in high speed movement.LOW SPD: If speed is lower than which is set, BEACONs are transmitted in timeintervals set in [SLOW RATE].The units for speed can be set in Set mode option [APRS] → [11 APRSUNIT].HIGH SPD: If speed is higher than which is set, BEACONs are transmitted in timeintervals set in [FAST RATE].The units for speed can be set in Set mode option [APRS] → [11 APRSUNIT].SLOW RATE: BEACON transmission time interval when speed decreases below the[LOW SPD] setting.
