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
You will then be able to see the SMS messages
in and out from the dashboard (Ignore the dstar bit)
Results can be monitored on https://APRS.fi
