MOST IMPORTANT SETTINGSMOST IMPORTANT SETTINGS !!!!!!
To get even basic APRS functionality you must change TWO radio Defaults!
1)Configure BUTTONS for APRS
2)Configure PM’s to save Settings!
3)Then SAVE these in your PMs!1) MENU: RADIO-DISPLAY-KEY_FUNCTION… set MODE 3 (D700
only)
2) MENU: RADIO-MEMORY-AUTO_PM_STORE… set to OFF (700 & 710)
(This prevents your every button push from auto-saving over your previously saved config!)
3) SAVE in each APRS PM: Press F then PM-IN, then select PM
