Hi all..
I'm currently new in APRS even I've already try a little bit on my Alinco DR-135MKIII with EJ-41 TNC Unit installed. I wondering why VX8DR can't decode position which are sending by other devices with $GPRMC format. Manual have no clearly describe that VX8DR can not decoding $GPRMC format so when I give it try to receive position that send by Alinco with $GPRMC format only displayed as a data text on VX8DR instead of position. The station list character on VX8DR displaying a question mark (?) that mean "Other Station (Include Non-Decoding Station)" when receive a $GPRMC format as a position. In the other hand position format using ! and = displayed perfectly on VX8DR. I don't understand why VX8DR doesn't support $GPRMC. I just wondering if the VX8GR can handle RAW NMEA data ($GPRMC) better than VX8DR because on VX8GR manual says : (APRS/GPS Set Mode Item 2: APRS FILTER) POSITION : When this item set to “ON”, the transceiver shows the stations which send a Position Beacon and Raw NMEA data. VX8DR's manual only says : (APRS/GPS Set Mode Item 3: APRS FILTER) POSITION : When this item set to “ON”, the transceiver shows the stations which send a Position Beacon. So, did anyone here already test VX8GR when handle a Raw NMEA data? Comment and suggestion are greatly appreciated.
