MB7DAA UK's First standalone licensed DMR APRS Node 144.700 UK wide frequency

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
http://blog.retevis.com/how-to-use-the-rt82-built-in-gps-to-report-aprs-location/

The idea to have a common frequency for DAPRS is to help create a better gps / DAPRS network and allow people to use their GPS compatible radios to send their location data.

Other DMR radios will be able to send a text message via the aprs network and receive as well, they could send a static GPS message if they wanted to.

As I understand it, some repeaters allow GPS data in on talkgroup 5057, but at the moment I can do this on a phoenix repeater.

Having the option to run a node, even side by side an existing analogue one would be very useful.

Go to the BrandMeiser self care website: www.bm-dmr.uk/dash/APRS1.html

set up your details example screenshot below

Now in the radio,

Create a new contact private call on 5057

Next create a channel

Set up GPS system

Now add the channel to a zone

Save the codeplug to the radio, select zone DAPRS and channel DAPRS (so we are 144.700 cc1 ts 2 and will pulse GPS data every 30 seconds on talkgroup 5057 private call)

Next the host spot just needs to be set to RX TX o 144.700 and DMR BM UK server
