Yaesu VX-8GE Operating Manual

VX-8GE OPERATING MANUAL 159“SLOW RATE” item. The speed unit is determined from the APRS/GPSSet Mode Item 10: APRS UNIT.HIGH SPD: This item designates the higher speed threshold. The VX-8GE transmitsan APRS beacon when your movement speed becomes higher than theselected speed. The transmission interval time of the APRS beacon is setin “FAST RATE” item. The speed unit is determined from the APRS/GPSSet Mode Item 10: APRS UNIT.SLOW RATE: This item designates the transmission interval time of the APRS beacon atlow movement speeds.FAST RATE: This item designates the maximum transmission interval time of the APRSbeacon at high movement speeds.TURN ANGL: This item designates the course change angle that indicates a progressheading change.TURN SLOP: This item sets a coefficient to modify the TURN ANGLE algorithm, thusincreasing the beacon rate for lower movement speeds.When this setting value is increased, the threshold angles of the APRSbeacon timing are increased as the vehicle velocity is decreased.TURN TIME: This item designates the minimum delay time between each APRS bea-con. The VX-8GE does not transmit an APRS beacon until this settingtime has elapsed since the previous APRS beacon transmission, prevent-ing too frequent beacon transmissions.SmartBeaconingTM from HamHUD Nichetronix.APRS/GPS Set Mode Item 27: TIME ZONEFunction: Set the time offset between the local time and UTC.Available Values: UTC -13:00H ~ UTC +13:00H (0.5H/step)Default: UTC +0:00HAPRS/GPS SET MODE DETAILSAPRS/GPS SET MODE
