Normally, operation in the TYPE 1 default factory setting whenshipped is recommended. However, when using the SmartBeaconing™ function alongmeandering roads such as mountain paths, many multiple beacons may be transmutedin a short period of time and be the cause of frequency congestion.When testing operations at a different timing, TYPE 2 and TYPE 3 settings can be selectedand adjusted to change the method beacon transmissions according to the situation.In order to ensure that beacons are transmitted in an appropriate manner, adjust theSmartBeaconing™ parameters and DIGI PATH settings to prevent frequency congestion.CautionThe SmartBeaconing TM function can only be used when [10 APRS] → [19 MY POSITION SET] in theset-up menu is set to “1 GPS”.
